New wheel nuts fitted all around, stripe fitted, still no headlights (hmmf), still got to finish the wiring but it is only the last little bits that need tinkering with.

How it looks as of yesterday:

Much better.........have to say I prefer having the old bumblebee on the back of the darts.
Helps to break up the rear quaters and with the black wheels and hood it looks spot in! :thumbright:

I have to say generally I'm not a huge stripe fan, but that's looking well nice :thumbright:

Done one or two things on the dart over the spring.

Steering box has been adjusted and now much better, less play.
Car is running well with the MSD box.
Indicators and headlights were playing up, so I spent 3 weeks ripping out the entire looms. Finding past 'lash up' fixes and replacing wires. New fuse box and new connections between looms.
Refurbished the indicator switch on the column.

Did 130 miles in it last weekend, didn't miss a beat apart from the wipers not working, yet to work out why.

Nice little mini burnout at my brothers house.

Its a good feeling when you have been through the wiring loom and you have confidence that all is well and the car won't let you down, or spontaneously combust when you are not looking.

Good job, Jon :thumbright:
