No Si havent fitted it! Found it on ebay, it was marked up for a '70 Runner but so far havent seen another with that tank on. I think it's for an E body but I'm not sure. The steel panal came with it too.

Just a few more piccy's.

Got my air grabber re assembled this mornin' had some od it zinc coated and repainted the flapper, and it looks really good. The airbox that fits to the underside of the hood is a bit tatty and I havent even bothered tryin' to make it look any better. It's been broke and badly repaired a few times. But these are now available reproduction so I will get one at a latter date. This will do for now it is functional. All it needs now to work is to be piped up. And I've got the pipes and cleets allready.

I've been down to DM's this morni' and had a good chat with him. Daveand Alex will help me finish the car now because I'm getting to the stage were I've done everything I can with my limited knowledge and facilities.

Some stuff has been ordered from U.S Automotive for the interior so I'm waiting on these parts and then I'll tie it up on my mates Trailor and drag it down the Cheadle and when Dave's finished with it, it will be drivable Home

All this should be happening in the next 6 to 8 weeks. And in the mean time I'm just gonna concentrate on getting the car cleaned up and getting rid of some overspray ans sortin' out a few scratches

I finally got the rear door cards, sail panals and parcel shelf today. Ordered from U.S Automotive. These are the replacements for the door cards that a1canvas couldnt be bothered to ship and rip me off for $770 dollors.

There a perfect match for the front door cards (I was worried about that).

All is well with the world! Thanks Neil for a great service and not making me wait too long.

So the interior is complete, all I have to do is get my seats up from Nick's in Surrey and it sorted.

The only things I'm waiting for now is a windscreen rubber gasket n' trim clips, air grabber "O" ring, the running bird decals for the front wing's and the road runner badge's for the side's.

Ordered from Sixpack Speedshop at the same time as Neil's stuff, but Pascal told me than it would be towards the end of April. Have given up on Peter the windscreen guy been month's and has still not got back to me about coming up to fit it.

Soon as this stuff arrives, the car is being put on a trailor and taken down to DM's for the final assembly and M.O.T,

After DM and Alex have given it the magic touch, I'll be able to drive it home.
