all thought of- I have a 1/2 square tube running just out of view above the bumper which has a 12v cathode ray tube running through it its as bright as f*ck and completly invisible from the back...

(hence why you had to ask the question....  :wink: )

[Gordan]

[Pete126]

Lookin really good now Stuey, Was the last owners Bonny & Clyde with the bullet holes in the back panel      

[stuey]

youd think so pete... more like bodgit and scarper....

any hoo- doors fitted (for their safety-fettling to be done) and wing mirrors on (for fun and cos I want to see if i like them..)

[Gadge]

that looks wicked mate but i gotta ask?........ how are you opening the doors?

[stuey]

remote soleniod pops on the lock just hit the button and they open! (i hope)

[stuey]

had to replace the file lines today as mine where shot so I decided to get some braided hoses (£47 later...) but it now runs and starts on the button - not bad for a car that hasnt been run in anger in nearly 2 years!!!

shiny new lines pic-

[Tomasz]

its looking awesome!  Hopefully i will get the time next week to get mine looking nice again.

[stuey]

Pressed steel plates and chrome wipers arrived the other day so mini update today- (still waiting on my window frames and quarterlights!!! blinkin italians dont they know im in a hurry?)

[stuey]

as the originals had broken or entirely dissapeared one of the many more jobs I have to do to finish the car is-

BUMpstops

I bought a set of powerflex universal bumpstops for about £35 for the set of 4-they are smaller and a great deal stiffer than the originals and then fitted them -

the fronts where a simple bolt in affair-



the rears howevers required a captive bolt to be welded which in esscense is fine but the passenger side bumpstop is about 6 inches from the fuel tank (blue thing at the bottom of the following pic) so I covered the fuel tank in wet towels then put some steel in front to stop any fires (fire extinguisher was on hand too.. Im abit cautious after the last fire)-



and then could just bolt them in-




(Ive also got all the lights working and fitted the NOS window frames to the car and made a start on the door soleniods)

tomorrow If i can get  the suspension arms off I'm gonna finally dial in some negative camber into the front end!!!!
