Hi,

Just a quick update:

Have been doing a lot of little bits lately and putting windows in etc. Also have been wiring up new coil and distributor but still trying to get the engine running but the timing is well of as it just won't fire up.

Heres an update on the dashboard. I am getting the silver plate by the cd plater chromed and will begine wiring it in this weekend. Its starting to come together really well.



Let me know what you think.

Cheers

What seats do you mean? The rear ones are the originals, front were bought from eBay

[jonb_5]

Yeah the rear seats are the originals from the car and Andy said.

The dash was simply sanded all over, primed and then painted. Its turned out awesome with not too much work.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Very nice . Can I ask where did you buy your wheels from? Ive seen 6x12's but never with a edged lip, they all have smooth lips.

Hi Jon,

Just read your thread from the start and I'm well impressed!!!

The car's looking absolutely awesome mate, and you've done all this since February, you're obviously not married!

Keep it up.

Russ

[jonb_5]

Nope definately not married and still live at home, so moneys not as tight as many.

The wheels are from midland wheels, the centre says "superlight" on but i ordered minilights.

Whatever they actually are i love them so im not bothered.

Thanks for all the comments guys, its nice to know what other people thinks as well.

Cheers

Jon

[jonb_5]

Another quick update with the brakes now fitted.

Won't be long now until it is on the road.

Cheers

Jon
