Brilliant cheers Andy. Mind if I be cheeky an ask how much he charged you roughly? You can pm me if you'd rather? I'm only after a turn table flocked for my jukebox. It's only a 6" dinner plate really.

Top and Bottom Dash rails, 2 gauge pods, speedo surround, column cowling and both air vent bezels for £75. Very fair I thought.

I've been plodding on doing odds and ends as I can. Leo is good, but time consuming. Having a week off work to try and get on with it. Will update the thread soonish...

It feels like I've done fook all over the last 6 months or so, but I guess it's coming together. I'm finding it hard to find time to do anything with a demanding family and job...

Stuck a few bits on the outside, starting to look a bit more like a car.




Got a fair way through the interior. Refurbed the clocks and mounted the top gauges. Fitted a new PCB to them.



Then promptly (like a big nob) tore the new circuit board. Thanks to Brett for donating a good one to the cause...




Got the dash all wired up and pretty much ready to go.



The astute of you will notice that I can't actually get in and out of the car with the wheel fitted, so I've butchered an old steering wheel and started fitting a quick release thingy.



Got most of the rest of the interior in. Ended up buying a second genuine carpet set as the so called high quality and quite expensive one was shit. The pink nob is just a temporary one.






Trying to hide the 6x9s from the Boom Boom speaker police. *wink*



Wasn't happy with the passenger seat flopping round, so I've made a retaining bracket for it.





Uncle Steve has fully refurbished my head, which is back on. Made a start on cleaning up and modifying the gaycharger, hoping to get that fitted and the fuel system finished of soonish.




Got the ECU loom finished and re-wrapped.



The rocker cover is off getting blasted, once that is painted and fitted and the clutch sorted out I should be able to get it running. Then the end is not too far off.

Avon might be optimistic, but MITP is definitely do able I think. *oh well*

This Deffo looks like a mag cover car. excellent work, Andy. And I really like the fact that is a proper road car. Comfy interior and some speakers.

It's the plastic thing that was on the exhaust when it was delivered. Haven't gotten round to taking it off yet...
