right guys, few more updates today.

As im moving house soon ive needed to get the wheels back on the front ready for trailering to my new garage

Of course with no driveshafts in, putting the wheels back on will knacker the wheel bearings.

Tada! Very short drive shafts

Put in...

back on its wheels finally! The front is rather high with no engine in it

With a bit of spare time I thought id get a start on cleaning out the engine bay which was a little dirty.

With some ******* in hand i went at it

And with some panel wipe i finished it off...

Much better!

Whilst i was at it i thought id change the gearstick over.

5 speed stick (now up for sale if anybody wants it

)

removed for a 6 speed stick...

I've had some designs done for the decals too so i've needed some proper measurements for the kit, so i stuck it on with some masking tape so i could do them.

And thats all i've done for the time being, hopefully i should have more done soon

I simply cannot wait to see this car completed!!!

**fraggie** · by **fraggie** » Fri May 09, 2008 12:07 pm

well not too many people interested but i shall carry on nethertheless.

Well with the move fairly imminent ive been mostly getting stuff ready to move rather than working on the car

I have got a few bits sorted today though so ill share

First off i got a knock at the door and a big box i wasn't expecting...

Wonder what that could be... :p

My new gold zinc coated brake discs

Looking all nice and new!

No time to put them on before i move unfortuantely so i thought id get my throttle cable installed...

What a ballache of a job that is! Its like threading a donkey through the eye of a needle...

Well one rat tail from inside the car...

And a whole half hour later (with much swearing and cursing)...

It was finally in!

I quickly took the bump strips off the new bumper so i can transfer them over to the old one..

And that was about it

Now im off to tidy up and sort more stuff out for moving!

Before i go does anybody know what this is infront of the horn? Its the only lead i havent labelled which leads me to believe it wasn't plugged in in the first place...

Oh and heres a sneak peak of the preliminary designs of the decals...

More soon

Ive seen that plug hanging there on a few callys and on my latest one, i think its for headlight washers.

When do you think youll be finished ? cant wait to see it in the flesh

**fraggie** · by **fraggie** » Sat May 10, 2008 8:35 am

cheers for the comments folks, the hope is to get it finished for billing but it will be very tight if it is actually done by then.

If not it will be taken to all the shows next year

NoT keen on the decals, the yellow flash would be best on it's own I think.
