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.

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

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....

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.

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)
