Another update, and a step closer to being on the road!.

Now at the point of rewiring (battery relocated to the boot),starting to get all the tidying up stuff done, thank god, finishing straight I hope.

I have a few things I need to source to finish it off, so if anyone has anyof the below for sale please get in touch :D

1 / O/S & N/S door to glass rubber seals /finishers (preferably new or VG condition)
2/ Facet fuel pump (silver top) up to 150bhp
3/ sportshatch tartan interior panels (yeh I know , a long shot :roll: )

Heres a few up to date pics,

Turbo bonnet vents fitted (yes Paul , thier the real deal, not fakes LOL)

Image

And heres what you can do with a fibreglass dash ( well my interpretation!), not the best pic, but you get the idea!

Image

I will post up the pics of the dash 'illuminated' later once the battery gets reconnected, yet another wee surprise :twisted:

have you gone for EL film behind the dash, or LEDs? Or aren't you telling until it's lit up 8)

Fantastic job!
