scoop now welded in place-the 3 uprights are solid aluminium bar which I will polish up once the hood is painted(probably going satin black for now)
hope you like.............

What happened to the paint?!

The car looked epic before, or was it a 30 foot car?

cheers young Dave
GJ-paint was crap,typical yank toff over so decided to give it a more ratty look but get bored of being asked what colour its going to be

getting everything else done before a proper paint job.

Darts seem to suit big square scoops like that

Scoop looks great

Really solid rust free car, in fact I nearly bought this when Dave Madders brought it in, but went for my 71 instead. Paint looks great as is

Sorry, I didn't meant it like that. The last photo I saw of the car was in spanking beige. It looked epic then, looks great now also.

mot yesterday as seats are all done.
found a steering wheel which is much better than the old bus type...it was covered in yacht varnish so after an hour of trying to sand it off I got the blow lamp out-ended up blackening the wood and liked it so left it

like riding in a completely different car with the new seats in and new carb on.
roll on next weekend.........

Great work as usual Dave! fair bit of weight saved too, bench seat went 90lb on my scales. Where did you get those floor mats? been looking for something like that for the Valiant.

cheers Blue-the difference between the bench and a100 seats was approx. 70lbs

the mats I got from Halfords-about £3 each
