Thanks.... i love the colour too and to think i was nearly going to go for lemon twist

As for the time spent so far its difficult to say . The blaster i have is only a hobby one and the compresser is the biggest i could get before going to 3 phase. Its 150 ltr Sealey and it kept up o.k at 100 psi could go for about 3/4 hour before having to stop and let the air build up.

But i Bananarama! had an hour gauge on it would be interesting. Bet ive had my moneys worth !! (Watch this it'll blow up, now ive said that lol !)

The third picture is a booth i made using some out of date cable jointers rubber gloves sealed in and holes on the side for the air pipes and a glass lid. isnt perfect but it works. And the old welding mask was my head gear and was a lot better to use once id talken the tinted gass out

Wahooo ! mi tich tock tach arrived this morning and i was beginning to think i'd been scammed. And it looks great too dont know if it works yet but dont really care at £33.00 including shipping

The face is in mint condition may if its not working i could get it fixed

Just ordered the final parts from wasp to get it up and running and im hoping to have it on the road by about xmas time .

And get to some of the local cruises inh the new year.

The car isnt gonna be painted yet tho run out of funds for now but cant wait to play

Its gonna look a little scruffy well maybe a lot but all the rot has been removed what little there was and there'll be blobs of primer here and there but its sealed underneath and thats all that matters to me at the mo.

Might frighten a few baby's and offend old people

Just waiting for a headlight bezel, should come this week i bought it bout the same time as the clock but no worries if it doesnt arrive ive still got the other even tho its not purfect its not gonna stop me putting the headlights back in.

Just need to know how this electronic igition feeds into my wiring loom
Then ive cracked it ......... It will be aliiiiiiive again

Just got to wait for the starter relay to arrive should be about 2 weeks Chris said

If anybody's got a wiring diagram or direct me to a thread i'd be ever so greatfull

The screen is out (but not in one piece lol)and ive removed all the class and door furnature and dash panal .

This ofcourse means that i will not have the car ready for spring but what the hell , its a one off for me , i will NEVER restore another car as long as i live and breath

Seriously i have had to battle with myself and in the end , egerness (to get it roadworthy) lost the fight.

If i put it back together again now , theres a good chance it wont get finished at all,and thats no good

Ive done the worst of the hard labour and the bodywork and painting , panal gaps and stuff is my favourate part of the restoration. Love welding too !!

Oh well , sorry if one or two where looking forward to seeing it soon but its going to be the dogs, Promise
