Thats it then, all the original hardware was either missing, knackered or broken so just waiting for the new stuff to arrive. I think that will pretty much be it for the interior, other than sorting out the seat belts which like most things were on this car, a ropey mis match.

That looks great, so much better than the white panels

Looks nice inside, great work

I think so too, it would originally have had white seats as well...

Loving the way this is coming on, & that interior is transformed.

Fantastic quality of workmanship on everything. Watching your build is helping to keep me motivated on mine!

Thanks Lee, motivating other people to have a go is important to me. I would love to have taken this down to a bare shell like you have but I don't have the skills to paint a whole car or the money to pay someone else, plus I didn't want the car off the road in the summer months, So bite size chunks it is...

I know what you mean re the paint job Blue. I'm on a tight budget with mine so plan to paint it myself, but don't fancy painting everything in one go & I'm concerned about debris in the paint.The plan is to use a good direct gloss which should hopefully let me paint everything in stages & flat well back afterwards for a uniform finish. That's the plan anyhow.
I think the way you've done it makes a lot of sense, working on it whilst having something that's close to driveable most of the way through. At least you're not looking at a pile of bare steel wondering where to start!

New hardware arrived Today!

Very tidy - hardly a hole in sight!

Very nice

The annual winter refit has been a bit slow getting going this year due to one thing and another. I have been collecting parts though including a Stinger six pack hood which finally arrived Monday. It's a real quality item that bolts on it the conventional manner but still only weighs 25lb. The scoop is downsized somewhat to suit A body proportions and has the correct reverse lip "jet engine" openings that make or break this design for me. A guy on the FABO forum makes lightweight springs to work with these hoods so I bought some of those, the only downside is the front wings have to come off to fit them. So, on with prepping for paint...

Utter class love it


Keep the updates coming

Can you explain a bit re; reverse lip jet engine openings ?

I'm meaning the detail around the openings curving inwards like on a jet engine, a lot of the aftermarket six pack scoops are almost flat fronted and lack this detail.

Gotcha! Thanks
