WOW thats gona be an attention grabber, looking good tomf - and remember finish this one before you start the next project

Bit of an update, but not many pics.

First off i started re-wiring the dash, so iv got that sorted now



I then got the rear window fitted, bolted the cage down, fitted the rear quarter windows.

I then fitted the front indicators, and headlights. (iv still got to wire them in though)




I then had my friend rounds and we set about fitting the front windscreen, we got it all in minus 4 inches, then CRACK oh no there goes that screen, so i headed down the breakers and got another screen and exactly the same thing happened , But whilst i was down there i got some fully adjustable SPAX shocks, and a few other bits.

I then got the door glass fitted.

Iv also done a few bits, but i cant remember what lol.

Once if fitted the arches, buckets and fuel tank then ill get the AA to come out and replace my screen.

get pally with someone at national windscreens. I was talking to them and they said they would fit my windscreen if i needed help for a tenner.

Looks great. that dash might be abit lairy and bright, but it will stop u falling asleep at the wheel. Best buy some sun glasses i think.

For some reason I want to green/yellow or orange car, retro swinging style.

That is looking so good Tom, some good graft gone on there buddy. Rabs in the paint shop too

[Tomf]

OOOO very nice what colour you going? The same?


Well iv been out for a little while this evening.

Iv got most of the wiring sorted for my speakers, now, but got the door speakers to sort now, but they will be done when i fit the door cards.

iv also mounted up the rear number plate light.



And the numberplate.



I then fixed the wing mirrors on.



Iv also mounted the passenger buckets seat, but im going to have to adjust the rear of the frame so that they sit higher, because its like sitting on the floor lol, i didnt get a pic yet, as iv still got to adjust it.

I also got my new petrol tank in the post today



I should have it all finished tomorrow, if i can get the bits i need, not sure what im going to do about the windscreen though.

[Tomf]

Im not sure what tank it is, i brought it off someone on here and it fits perfectly between the two rear arches....

[Tomf]

Also when i went down the breakers to get a windscreen there was a mini down there and i got the SPAX adjustable shocks of that and im going to go down there tomorrow and see if they will accept my offer on their MED 1380.

[Jordie]

oh yes, 1380 power would finish it nicely
