We have motion. Finally got enough trans fluid in and tried the gears, it has moved forwards and backwards on its own now, and stopped using the brake pedal.
Also discovered doing up the wheel nuts is a good idea before driving, even if it is only 10 feet. Horrible clonk noise!

Hood scoop is on, now paint prep.

Just wondering about the windscreen trim clips, should they be along the bottom of the rear screen along the duchess panel as well?

Great stuff goods for you

Lots and lots of hard work to get this far

Moving on it own the beast awakens

great stuff matt,all down hill now mate

Yes the trim clips have to go along the bottom of the rear window. There is a factory diagram in the parts manual showing the number and position.

Glad to hear your still hard at it Matt.
Keep going !

Thanks Dave,
I take it that securing the clips with self tappers will be OK, as those little rivet things will be hard to source, and hurt your fingers when rubbing down.
I have got a couple of clips secured by screws at the front screen top corners.

YES MATT BUT THEY WANT TO BE TINY AND FLAT HEADED, GOOD STUFF MATEY

I've learnt lots about screen clips now! Later ones can go on after the screen is fitted, only 70 screw in first.

Pg 60-62 for windshield clips.
thanks to Six Pack speedshop for showing me this and hopefully getting what I need!.

Rewinding a few weeks, this was real clenched buttocks time, taking an angle grinder to an otherwise excellent bonnet.

Worth the worry though, but did it make a mess or what? There is so much metal to cut through with the frame as well. Several discs later.

And today I am mostly removing my fingerprints from the tips of my fingers.

I have now a deadline of just under three weeks to get this car painted and on the road, in time for daughters birthday on May 14th. She wants to go out in it on her birthday.

Just got to paint, fit up enough for an MOT, and the details stuff can be done for Brands Hatch. sounds easy except I have to fit in work and sleep.

Matt that is looking good, it looks really nice!

Excellent work on the hood mate, you done a crackin job with that

Absolutely epic progress Matt!

I can't believe after all these years of bugger all happening in the Hollingsworth garage that the old Chally has gone from a candidate for ebay under the heading "project" to a living and breathing Mopar.

With the progress you are making, as well as Blue, Will and the other MMA members are making with their cars it's getting a bit like the good old days!

Looking good Matt. I'm trying desperately to get out of work this afternoon to pop down and get in the way
