That's looking very good indeed :D I'm in agreement with that last pic too.
So what have you done with the dash illumination then?

All the dash is colour changing ! (I can chose any of 7 different colours at any time :shock: :D ) for any of the guages, i could have them all the same or all different colours and in any combination.
Will put up some pics when I finish the dash wiring.

Cheers Andy, Havent got an axle yet, Nobody seems to have one...
I just hope the original survives long enough to map the car!

As for brakes, Im going to use mazda 4-pots, I need to get some adaptor plates made, a guy up here quoted £190 to cut them, I think I might just get the files out.... :D

I bet you cant wait to get the car on the road and go for a blast!!!

Had the photographer from Total Vauxhall over to the garage on Friday, took a few 'WIP' type pics of the Viva for the editorial, and has confirmed availability for Louden Castle :D .
Also works for Fast Ford (yeh I know :roll: ), and was very interested in something else im working on just now for a feature.

and its now painted in tropical turquoise Hot rod Flatz .
Not my cup of tea, but hey ho! the customer is ALWAYS right :? :roll: :D
