I can highly recommend George!

He's located near Solihull.

If you want his details drop me a message and I'd be happy to pass them on.

Sadly I am in the US and my job was done by a friend of mine here in NC. It's a mistake that keeps getting bigger and bigger as time passes and the paint ages.

Doorcards, lovely!

Are these the cards you made yourself? They look amazing, I need to do some for mine.

Aye well remembered I was making my own! I had a go at it with the suede fabric.. but they looked awful! So I bought a set from Retro Retrims.

Ooh eye sea, I must say that your whole build is amazing, I wish I had the patience and time to be as thorough as you've been, It is so nice!!

Liners pushed into place ready for fettling and fixing.



I had to re-tap these threads as the stonechip had covered them up.



During fitment.



Arches going on. Absolute nightmare.. I was so worried about doing this job, but they look fantastic!









All on

Are you meant to cover up fresh paint?

I'm very quiet because I am so very jealous!

[analogue_radio]

He said it's been painted for a while so it's hardened

Haha Adam, don't be daft.

Looks fantastic, I really like the colour. I was the same with those arches, luckily the guy who has sprayed mine has fitted them for me.

[benpopham]

Another update for today then..

Because funds are now low, I'm limited to what I can do.. ideally the first things I need to do are buy a wiring loom so I can run that and get it all in place and run the fuel, battery & brake lines along the inside of the cab.

But I'm cracking on with what I can do

Today I started to refurbish the heater, I did refurb the heater that came out of the '90, but that was over a year and a half ago so decided to start afresh with the one from the '79 and make a proper good job of it.











Everything was cleaned and stripped of the grot and old foam, it'll all be replaced with something similar.



In the 'spray booth' for etch priming.



Gave the heater matrix a good flush through, I didn't get a photo when it first started to come out but it was a horrible brown colour!

I repeated this process switching from side to side about 6 times and whilst the water was flushing, shaking it about to loosen any dirty areas until it was running nice and clean.



Thought this was a good photo as well



(Sorry it's dark, got the cover on)

Few more interior bits going in.
