A secret :grin: for now :tongue:

Small update: :erm:

I have done the front brake pipes, and filled and bled the brakes, although they still need adjusting.
I have done some painting today (front, bonnet, doors)
done some more wiring (only a little left)

Things i know i need to do:

Window fillet strips,
Adjust brakes,(done front drivers side)
Fit everything back on to doors and front, then fit them
finish wiring

I cant think of anything else

Hey looking great whats left to do hows the megasquirt? pics of the interior aswell please? this projects a great read!

[Jackman]

Yeah thats looking great. Keep up the good work.

[ed4ran]

Well ive spent the week waiting for a day warm enough to paint,
But im gonna do another coat (maybe today if im not too lazy)

For megasquirt i just need to wire in the coil pack and get some long HT leads
Then it can do the ignition

I havent done much more to the interior as im trying to finish the wiring,
but i will need to get a new carpet set, and eventually get some new seats and door cards etc.

After a small problem i now require a drivers side wind up window!!

But i am looking at the Polycarb set!
Has anyone one got these? or had experiance fitting them?
Or anyone know why i shouldnt get them?
(i have rear opening quater windows)


Anyway, doors are on, front is on, and lights are going on/in,
need to do the wiring for the lights, i also need to adjust brakes and put in the windscreen fillet strips, along with a few little things, like a fog lamp (rear).

Does anyone know if a rear fog lamp is required by law?

[miniboo]

Anyone had Polycarb windows from MiniSpares??
Or any where else better to get them from?

[wobblybob]

clicky
never used them but they seem good

[ed4ran]

hmmm, interesting. Will be looking into Polycarb windows, but i think for now i will just try and get a replacement.

Anyway I am at a point where i have very little left to do!!!!
Several things I have to do i am waiting on parts to be delivered,
(hopfully Tuesday)

What i have todo are as follows (in no particular order):

Adjust brakes (so there is some resistance and the pedal doesnt just bottom out)
Window Fillet strips (waiting on tool, monday hopfully)
Window (ooops, hammers fault)
Bonnet mounts (need to find screws)
Cable ties, (to hold lots of wires together)
Put grille and surrounds on
Horn
Front number plate
Rear fog light

And I need one of those seat floor bar / bracket / thingy so i can put the passenger seat in (anyone care to donate?).

But anyway heres a picy :grin:

[benfredjosh]
