Top job and thats coming from me!!, The only point I would make is the seat mounting's, The std one's are too flimsey and having a proper bar welded to the floor pan makes a huge differance.

[sounds of silence 2]

ye mate i was going to but opted to just strenghthin the std ones for now but if i opt to change then its a easy enough job and a little touch up on the paint lol

the car got flattened and polished and took back out the booth then back into position to start the rebuild , and build the engine.

 

now first off was to start by putting the steering column and servo back in

 

 

then the full car loom had to be put back in as i removed this for painting.

 

 

removed the tape so i could re tape and remove any wiring thats not getting used and make it alitte neater

Is it me or is the cambelt hitting the cage bracing?

 

EDIT: Bugger by the time id posted that new pictures had appeared and it wasnt touching it anymore!

It just gets better and better! Keep the updates comming!

 

I too am a big fan of that dash, above anything else it will hide it cracking and going off colour in the sunlight.
