So tonight we did a few fiddly jobs, first up mocked up lights and grille.....cant finish it yet, swopeet in two wks for some indicators for headlights. Next up we ran the new throttle cable in and made up an outer cable clamp. This will be bolted to one of the rear carb mount bolts. Them with the trimmer edging the main carpet sections we fitted the centre section over the tunnel, wired and fitted the foot operated dip beam switch and a cut off. Then we had a brew and decided wed had enough! Throttle linkage made too and ready to fit. More to come soon.

Back at it Tuesday night. Carb was refurbed and painted, and the new air filter fitted, although D's not sure and the filter may be changed yet for a half clam shell type. Also manifolds and exhausts were treated to some paint. View from car of the motor sticking up looks pretty good. Next we cut the kick panels ready for D the sewing Bee to cover them to match the rest. The next hour or so was given over to buffing up the alloy boss on the steering wheel and then we managed after several attempts to get the pull start working, we won in the end! And the final few wires were runin. Weve now got grille to finish, headlights to fix and wire and .... Well thats pretty much it other than a few swop meet bits and pieces to get. Finally itll get a good clean and touch up. More on Saturday.

Its kinda sad but exciting, this build thread is nearing its end, tonight down the Fridge.... Lights wired... Mirrors mounted...... And were especially pleased with the interior effort. Now in place for the last time, fitted and finished..... Edged carpets look the nuts, and we made and covered the left and right kick panels..... The grille shell was painted too and on Saturday we bolt up the last few bits and kaboom..... Finished. Not too shabby for a three month turn a round!
