Ok folks, thank you for you support & patience. I have been rather busy this week finishing & prepping for SVA along with working as well. This has made for some very LONG days.
Anyway I would like to thank Wayno (Idontbelieveit) for popping around yesterday, it was very encouraging and nice to his recently completed car close up. I would also like to thank Kev for popping around today and helping me to concentrate on the important bits.
So what went on, well its like this, yesterday afternoon I was going around the car checking all the lighting heights. ARGHHHHHHHHH. When I first mounted the rear lights I had no fuel in the fuel tank. The rear lights measured 290mm from the floor. Ok wind the springs right the way up. Hmm, that took me to 340mm. Bugger (approximately) said I, I'm going to have move the lights UP. How could I do it and still leave it looking respectable. Any way after having had the night off from work (my pocket is hurting VERY much) this is what I managed to do.

So that left me the rest of today (having got the lights back on by noon) to finish off the rest of the car including fitting extra side repeaters. So here are the rest of the photo's, what do you think.......................

So peeps what do you reckon (even though its a bit late now to do too much).

Nicely finished car but they might not like the pipe lagging on the steering arms - looks very "temporary"

Good luck

If you have any, take some split conduit for the steering arms. If they dont like the pipe lagging it will be an easy fix.

Clive - take some spare trim and glue with you. I had to trim the back of the front light bracket as I had only put trim around the front and sides..

Also had to trim the brackets that the streering columb monts unto under the dash.


The stick on trim on the front elbows that stick out of the nose cone was not acceptable - But the radius on the elbow is fine so no problems.

all the best jolly enjoy the day car looks great

Good luck. Enjoy the experience which ever way it goes.

The track rod covering might be too temporary. Could you wrap it with self amalgamating tape?

Put some gland nut sleeves on mine which I filled with silicon to pack them out Any electrical wholesalers will have them , Hope you don't need them

Looks good - you should be proud. I agree with the pipe lagging comments.

Are you mirrors ok pointing in that direction? I think there is a minimum size rectangle you have to be able to use... But could be talking out of my backside.

Good luck with the test - and let us know how it works out.
