Not finished yet matey

[GT Jimmy]

My arch covers were knackered, the foam on the back was perished so i replaced it with some laminate flooring foam underlay

 

 

 

 

Then we grabbed the seats from the loft and gave them a bit of a clean

 

Very happy with todays progress, but my mate in work might be on to something when he said it'll look like a rotten apple haha

Since the last update we've put the drive shafts on, sweared a lot at getting the roll pin in the gear linkage, a big thanks to Sam and Marc,(Midas mk1 and Minimissions) for pulling us out of the smelly stuff. That pin can stay there forever now

 

My nephew has since painted my doors, bootlid and bonnet

 

 

Today I thought it might be nice to put the rad in, but couldn't get the long bolt though the rad shroud to subframe mount, fat fingers, but I have a plan. had to make do with getting the alternator and fan belt on

 

 

Marc and Sam also put my clocks in too, I didn't take pics though

 

I really need to get the headlining finished before I can get the windows and doors in etc

Not a lot of progress to report, but look at these bad boys

 

They're even shiny on the inside! A big thanks to Chicago powder coating

Wheels look good.There seems to be a good thickness of coating on the mounting face,Might need care that they seat right when fitting and check if they are becoming loose.Very nice work,Steve..

Thanks for the comment, was thinking that myself. Do you think it would be worth my while scraping it off the mounting face

yes Jimmy clean off the mating face maybe the bottom of the wheel nut hole face as well.   don't want the wheels falling off   

[GT Jimmy]

Not a lot to report, had a trip up to minisport a couple of days ago and got some yokos for my refurbished wheels. We had a batlle with the bottom bolt on the rad but with a little improvisation we won

 

Some of the lads from the S.U.N.M.C are coming round to help get this thing ready for the MOT, can't wait to actually drive it
