Hoping to get the engine running by Christmas and MOT early New Year ready to iron out the bugs before the weather picks up. 

 

Still lots of expensive things to buy before then though.  :wacko:

Sounds like a realistic plan though to be fair then we may see you at l2b :) would be great to see it in the flesh :)

Managed to get some time on the van Saturday. Although I couldn't do too much as my minispares order didn't turn up due to some out of stock parts.

 

I  bought some more satin paint and had a few parts to put on so got to it.

 

Connected the front headlight loom with this little connector block. Hopefully I've wired it up right but time will tell when I come to start it and see if the lights work!!!! haha.

I've just tucked it in for the moment so will see how that goes.

Rear lens gaskets are in and ready to contact to the loom.

Striker plates are in so the drivers do shuts.

Also painted the fuel neck and steering cowl but didnt get round to fitting.
