More importantly, you'll get 20 to the gallon out of the leaning tower of power!
I think it will look top notch - just gonna have to take it one (baby) step at a time as money as always is not a bottomless pit!
As for the white one - there's a few things to be done. The slanty needs to come out as it is dropping so much oil now its not funny, and it just so happens that the engine that is coming with the other car is a more period (3 freeze plug) engine for the car. So it will be going off to the friendly engine builder to be refreshed ready to drop in.
The fabric roof is getting its coat, it's a pain in the arse to clean, its torn, and every time it gets damp it rucks up. So as I know a certain person who is quite handy with a spray gun, I'm intending to paint the roof a cherry red heavy metallic/metalflake to match the custom interior.
Wheels are still in debate... It could do with some wider boots as it is rather jittery as it is. I might keep my plans for them a secret for now tho...
Then maybe at the end of next year, I'll drop the screens out and sort out the rust thats just starting to make itself known under the rubbers, and treat it to a nice fresh coat of white.
