And finally, as of today, the engine bay with more bits removed :

 

 

Interior is now nearly empty :

 

 

Also, I found some Leyland Suid-Afrika A-panel badges for this car :

Lovely progress again dude. 

 

If you come across one of those Leyland grille badges, please let me know. They look really cool and I'd love to get one.

I have a spare, but that's for the bootlid. I'll keep an eye out.

Engine removed this evening :

 

[Jared Mk3]

Just a little quiet on this one lately.

 

I managed to get the subframe off today and stripped it. There is a crack on it so will be replaced. The donuts are shot, but are being replaced anyway.

 

Empty :

 

 

Frame out :

 

 

And the important bits left over (apart from the driveshafts) :

Nothing major - finally got the reflectors for the grille.

Thanks to Mr Shadwell, I now have a set of arches for this car :

I've barely touched this car in the last few months, but I have gathered a few parts, namely a steering rack, chrome door trims and interior parts like an upper dash pad and carpet set, as well as organise a complete set of black seats and door cards. I just need a rooflining and lower dash pad now to finish the interior off.

 

I cleaned up the front subframe and painted it up :

 

 

 

I also fitted the AeroCatches to the bonnet, but it is going to be a pain to use while still on the standard hinges, so I'll some small pins in the corners too :

 

 

Some of the parts :

 

 

 

 

The carpet set was an utter bargain. Brand new and bought for a steal. Not Newton, but decent nonetheless :

 

 

I'm hoping to be able to build up the front frame soon - I just need one more upper arm pin repair kit.

That subframe looks absolutely fantastic! It's always nice to get new parts for a build. The new carpets and trim should look very nice when fitted.

No real progress on this car lately, but I did get an interior for it, namely seats and door cards. Going for full black :

 

 

 

I did make a start on the front suspension, but waiting on a few parts in order to finish it off :

Those seats and door cards will look good when fitted. Where did you find them?

Rory in Pinetown had them. Came out the race car. Got some Clubby bumpers from him as well.

That's awesome! Glad that the extra parts from the race car are being put to good use.
