Thanks Pedro. Its not just me wanting to see your car finished. I think the whole bloody world is.
Nick the steering wheel is a bit of trickery. I could not afford the $1200 quoted for the Pearl steering wheel so this is my Steering wheel shorted by a couple of inches and painted. It looks great and I saved $1200.

Thanks Wayne,look foreward to see the photos of the fit up. I notice they sell that to suit small coupes and pick ups ,do you think it would be enough for a sedan?

Hey Wayne,
Did you get all of the Aircond stuff from carshop inc because Vintage air wouldn't deal direct with you? Or was it cheaper than through Vintage air directly?
Where are you going to get your condenser from?
Am in the same stage for getting stuff myself.
Cheers JB

Did not try Vintage air direct. Have got a few things from carshop inc and they seem to have it under control. Prices seem OK as well.

Some happy snaps showing the colour. After much thought I really like the light blue. Getting nearer the end. Had to change the seats. The land rover bucket proved difficult. Not everything runs to plan. Regards Wayne b Jim thanks for the tip on the Spare Wheel door lock.

Is your seat position comfy or a little high ?
Im no lay the seat back home boy but i love my FE sitting down in the seat. I have a new 200 series cruiser and it is really annoying me being fairlly tall i nearlly hit the roof and the height adjuster is fully down.
