Fin, I have started to rub it back and it turned a few heads..... I have also done the engine bay and it came up pretty sweet. just needs a lick of paint now. bay will be same white as body

When are you swinging by my place with your FC?

soon young one soon  :P ;D

Well I finally chose a colour. Actually the misses did and it looks pretty good. its PPG Acrylic White with black tint and red oxide (trace amounts) to turn it off white. Makes the bay look neat too. I'm happy things are moving now.

Nes looks great when will the engine be installed   ?? :finlay :o//URL

[NES304]

Hopefully soon.
A soon as the rest of the insides of the doors are finished I can put em back on and the interior will clip in.
Next is the motor which i already have aquired GMH Grey paint for. It'll look like new. Witha white engine bay and some hidden wiring it'll be very neat

the Dash is now looking pretty sweet

[NES304]

well the insides of the doors are finally done and just need to be cut back, buffed and then hung back on the car. I trial fitted the inner skins too and looks great

[NES304]

well I ripped out the cross member and gave it a clean up and coated it in 2pk black. looks great with the painted motor in the background. I just cat wait to get it in the car but I want to paint it a different grey first. Then I'll have to work out how the links fit up to the gear box....

motor is finally in

[fccool59]

good stuff ness, grey motor in a white bay is a good idea.

[NES304]

the dash is also coming along. this version is all white, I am making the spare lid and cluster surrounds the same colour red (when I choose it) as the insert making them interchangeable.(also to match red/white interior theme) For the purposes of the photo I stuck in extra knobs where the choke etc are ment to be.

its always fun trial fitting chrome before paint

[NES304]

checking the freshly cleaned scuff plate for fit

new front Bumper back from electroplating

[NES304]

the Diff Radiator and tail shaft were painted in 2pk and now look like new again

Trying to get the wiring sorted out when your not an auto sparkie is challenging. Once its finished i'll get one to check it over (don't want it to burn). note the trusty wiring diagram on seat.


Note the voltage regulator etc inside the fire wall, part of the plan to hide the wiring from the engin bay. Wire for head lights will be attached to the screws that hold the guards on (underneath the guard) to avoid being seen.
Have the brake lights working (and indicating)

[NES304]

Diff and tail shaft installed. exhaust half installed (have to weld both halves together), gear selector rods connected,

Brake and Clutch master connected but no fluid yet. the wires for the starter motor, generator, coil oil press and temp are connected in this photo (well hidden)
