Yeap, Satin black, with a shiney white roof and matching weller wheels (and wing mirrors)!! :grin:
Been at Santa pod for the weekend so havent got anymore done (did most of the wet sanding last week got a bit to finish before i spray again)

[ed4ran]

:erm: Not much to report, one more coat of paint to do, had to get a little more paint to do it plus someother things.

Also got me manifold for me Weber, and i think ill need a bonnet scoop/bulge!!

[miniboo]

Yowza thats HUGE!!

[stormduck]

Look at the size of THAT! :saywhat:

[ed4ran]

hehehe

[miniboo]

so what are you going to do to cover it then?

Are you just going to leave it open?

[ed4ran]

hmmm, was thinking about a "small" scoop, but one thats attached to the carb/filter, rather than intergrated with the bonnet.

cant wait, shouldnt be long, once its painted all i got to do is find all the parts and superglue them back on :grin:

[stormduck]

And then you think to yourself......"Where the hell does this washer go!?"

[miniboo]

Extra bits that you are not sure where they go are for the "fruitbowl".LOL

[ed4ran]

Well superglueing has begun!
Started it on monday, and i am progressing at an ok speed.

Wireing is in place, just got lights to connect (will be replacing a large part of the loom with new wire).
Brace bars are on and starting to put flip front on. (subframe needs moving slightly as its off to one side).
Steering column and switch panel are in.
Quite a few little bits are in (just cant think of them at the mo)

Hard to think of whats left to do (find more to do the more I do).

but mainly:-

Brake pipes,
lights (may need some newer/better ones),
fuel tank,
boot lid,
interior (got to get some carpet),
windows.

I think those are the main things.
Oh, doors and flip front.

Will be getting my wheels powder coated white,
and will have to get tyres for them (A032R)
but then i also need arches, and disc brakes. :sad: and thats more things to decide on.

Then the only things to sort are the engine and front subframe (will be done when engine is).

And i have a list of things i have to get (well ok more want to get, but i will get them!!!).

So anyway heres a picy or two. :grin:






Bubble wrap is to stop the flip front damaging the paint on the scuttle.

[TJenkos]

Clean that engine up!!

[ed4ran]

lol, i got a spare to rebuild (whilst having the car on the road) so i can then just swap them over (after a few mods first).

[ed4ran]

so more progress this weekend.

Clutch master cylinder is on, and clutch works!!
Brake master cylinder is on.
Exhaust is on (with paste)
MegaSquirt Crank sensor and wheel are on.
Wiper motor is in.
Ive had another play with the flip front and its getting there.


and:-

Windows,
doors,
front,
front lights,
rear lights,
fuel tank,
boot lid,
interior,
1 or 2 brake pipes.

are all left to do, (cant think of anything else at the mo)








Yes i know! DIRTY ENGINE!!

[Purple Tom]
