Put bootlid on and because it has been shaved I need to open it somehow so I rigged up a release cable-note the very common headsaver bootlid stay

which ends up here next to drivers seat-can only just see it! oh yeah and stuck a bit of dynamat around

I sprayed old sump oil inside the sills,the upper dash/firewall corners at the base of the a pillars and in the cavity between the rear wheelwells and the 3/4 panels-a good no smell alternative to fishoil!Just gotta let the excess oil drain out.

I think simplicity is the key with an FE, they seem to look better with less chrome (or at least no more added) and the one colour (or a subtle contrast) and I think the shape is so good with it's slightly more reserved pommy looking front, it is old school cool as long as you don't overdo it. That's just my opinion.  Smiley. See how the frenched lights make the bumper contrast more, you would even get a very clean looking car with the bumpers painted, cos then it looks a bit more intended (In relation to the lights), but hard for me to comment cos they always look different in real life.

Here's the result of what I did with $50 and this afternoon, towel rail tube grille! Somewhere to hang towels at the beach

Agree with you fink - it looks much better without the bulky surround.  Overall, a really cool looking mild custom, I love it.  Cheers, Graeme

Very well done, the car looks great, she reminds me of an A40 Austin from the front. Keep the good work happening.

I guess this needs to move now



Still a few things to sort properly but will be driving great when carbs sorted! Runs well now with good power just need a little bit more time.
