What's happening with the cars, Pete?

Have you got any shots of the ute with it's smoothie-type wheels?

Look what came out of hiding.
Gone to get the steering and rack sorted out so it has steering.
Ordering a new intake manifold and exhaust manifold and a big single turbo selling the old/new parts.

Pete , just wondering have you ever tried other shifters or shifter kits . I sometimes get my own cables made up . You said early on [in this build] that you were looking for a more original appearance except for the B&M shifter . Many years ago ,building my second Vauxhall I wrecked out a 1950 Hillman Minx for the roof turret ,kept a few items [semaphores ,headlight ring sand indicator glasses etc.] and I noticed only after giving the rest away ,that the gear selector was 4 speed column and changed with the use of 2 rather stiff cables working from levers down the column[similar to the levers on  FC selector rods]. I made up a set of gates just below the dash above the expanded metal section . The problem I found was the length and bends in the cable allowed too much movement in the selection requiring a longer selector on the box . Thinking about it later I thought this same idea could work with steel fuel line as cable outer ,thereby reducing movement and requiring only minimal flex down at the box . Forgot to say we used a version of this at "Rods"  with B&M shifter cables to column shift autos where required . I would just like to see what you could do with this . Forgot to say it but, I still enjoy looking through your build posts .
