Havnt had a chance to do much due to work but have managed to get front end almost there.

Bonnet fitted just some fine tuning to do, grill fitted, towing eyes in, zeus fastner fixings all sorted and working well.

Dash and dials in and all working showing a good oil presure and water temp, not sure on boost guage though will it only show readings under load?.

Managed to source a nearly new safty devices rear cage with diag for only £50 so have fitted and removed and at present it is being re-sprayed.

A few pics ill get more up when i get the cage in this week.

I seem to have missed this one somehow.It looks great especially the wheels,as a wheel nerd I would go out on a limb and say they are schmidt th lines not compomotive turbos but they look great whichever way and really suit the car.

Cheers Ross.

Just ahd a look at the TH lines and they indeed do look similar so maybe they are a mix of both?. Not bad for a fleebay find though! just need to get them re-furbed now.

Small update, chopped the doors about to loose some weight, then machined up so bits and came up with this design, all in one opener and handle. Hand grip is fixxed with a grub screw so it can be moved up and down the rod as to suit to person.

bootlid also finished, welded in some plate strips to drop into small slits cut out of boot surround then fasten with pins in corners.

I like the door opener. Still plenty of space for swaged holes in the sides of the door frames though.

It's mainly flat steel, so swaged holes will make it stronger *smiley*. I plan to do that to my doors
