So does this now mean that the crazy exhaust note is drowned out in the music? :-P

[Tomf]

Yea thats that aim anyway lol, iv just got to save up a bit more cash and get a big amp and a sub now then my ICE will be sorted, lol I would be fitting my wellers this weekend but they are the wrong size so ill have to wait untill i can sort out the right size wellers now lol.

looking good as always bud. I am on the look out for a Nikki twin choke carb , yours doesnt look to bad!

[Tomf]

I havent even see it yet lol i brought it off ebay and it still hasnt turned up , so by the looks of things ill have to search for another one. but apart from that everything is going well

Also i spoke to a family friend that used to spray cars for a living and still knows people in the spraying business, and he got speaking to them and has managed to persuade them to let him use their spray booth, and all their spraying equipment. So he is going to help my finish the prep work on the trailer, then we are going to go down to the spray booth and get it all sprayed up.

Also if i can sort one out i will be buying a fiberglass flip front, and ill bring that with me and we will spray that.

So if everything goes to plan i will be being shown how to spray things properly and be shown how to finish the paint off etc so atm im very happy lol.

not bad not bad. I may have a fiberglass front you can have for cheap, doesnt seem in to bad a nick although i havent seen much of it to be fair.

if you odnt mind me asking how much did you pay for your carb?

[Tomf]

i paid £40 for it off ebay, although apparently when the guy was packaging it up he said he bent the air filter, so he would put £10 cash in the package so it worked out at £30, however i havent received anything yet, so i think i might be being messaed about.


Could you sort out some pics of the front and a rough price

Well my dash is finally in, even though i am having a few problems with some bits. Iv got the majority of the bits working now, however i have had some problems with the dial back lights, and i need to fit a regulator to the fuel gaug eto get it working, But apart from that everything is good

I know someone who has a brand new curley fibreglass 2 piece for sale with arches (front with fog light) asking about £200 all in I think.

[Tomf]

Sorry, but i won a flip front on ebay the other day and im picking it up tomorrow. It is only about a 20-30 min drive away from me so thats a result and even better it didnt cost me much I had a 2 piece carbon fiber front before that i was going to fit to my old front but i found that the wings were really flimsy, so i didnt really like the idea of a 2 piece front so this time i went for a 1 piece flip front and ill see how i get on with that.

[Boab]

No worries Tom, thought I'd let you know.

[Mayfair Junky]

The dash looks awesome now it's in, all you need now is a sleaker looking housing for the CB and sockets as they look a tad boxy alongside that curvy dash

[Tomf]

Yea im thinking of mounting it underneath my screen, in the center console.

Iv sorted out the back lights now, so there all working properly

Also found another problem, which is as i brought the dash second hand it was already cut, and where the CD player is, the switch panel is behind it and the CD player wont fit in there and even if it did it would be at an angle so it aimed the CD player to the ground. Has anyone got any idea how i can overcome this problem? I dont want to grind any of the lower dash rail. Another idea i can think of doing is mounting the CB radio there and then mounting the CD plater somewhere else.

Any other ideas would be great

Also on another note, i picked up my 1 piece flip front today
