Good choice, that man! It goes brilliantly with the blue. I love the work you're doing. Can't wait to see it finished.

I’ve got the front windscreen in, back one due to go in tonight. I’ll be glad when they are done because that means I can crack (hopefully not literally!) on with more interior jobs such as rear seats and carpets. Got the wooden dash in too, so looking good there too, also got rear view mirror and sunvisors in (yes, really it is worth a mention).
Got a slight problem with wiper wiring – not too sure which wires to connect to the switch – I’ve got the later motor, but the earlier switch (loom was designed with this in mind). Only thing is, I can’t get the wipers to work – keeps popping the fuse. Anyone got any advice or experience on this one that would help (I’ll take a note of the wire colours later)? Once that is fixed, I can get the rest of the interior fitted – it really is that close… Pictures coming after tonight’s session.

I got them at Holden www.holden.co.ukWow that is well nice mate! Can i ask you where you bought the front indicators? like the look of them with the flatter lens on them.
Some good stuff from these guys. I think Moss do them too, but Holden were cheaper.
Cheers.

Getting the front windscreen in took a whole evening - people say it should take less time, but this was my first effort.

Rear windscreen went in much quicker – experience & confidence helps.
Dashboard lining going in - home made as its going behind the wooden dash.

Wooden dash in place – It’s been restored – my wife varnished it for me – nice job!
Carpets in – Newton Commercial with bonded soundproofing, I’ve put in extra felt soundproofing underneath.

Drool drool… Front seats in, sense of anticipation heightens…

I'm not going to bother, as they aren't a legal requirement to my knowledge (I haven't checked that out though), they rarely do any good anyway in my experience - open the rear windows to vent it... I think you can get the elements, I'm sure I've seen them somewhere, not sure where...Looks great! Lovely colour. I've never replaced a rear windscreen before -do you have to legally fit a rear windscreen heater - the elements? / Are you going to? and are there any options to have more than the small standard 4 or 5 element bands?

I know what you mean, I really like the clean look.

looking great man!! nice colour to be honest do you know what inch the Spotlights are by any chance as they're about the size im after maybe
Thanks for the positive comments guys, yes those spots are nearly 6", probably about 5 3/4" with the body.
By the way, just been working on it tonight, and I'm getting painfully close to completion. Just got the front grille on with the buttons, moustache and ends. Also got the front no plate on. At the weekend I made a switch panel for my extra switches and start button. Got music too, sounds sweet.
On the downside, I'm going to have to change the steering rack as there's a bit of play in the drivers side. Should have just replaced it in hindsight... it felt okay when I took it out, and it is about the only thing I didn't renew, but there you go, these things happen.
I'll get some pics when I get organised garage wise.
