Few more pics. the front cross member is on and the rear beam. the leather is in for the time being, as all the carpet has to come up so i can fit all the elec window loom and then fit the leather door cards. it is off to the bodyshop on the 19th to have the bay done. so while thats away i can get on with my engine and covering my interior trim with sude. the car at the bottom is what has taken up my time and thats going tomorrow.

hi again just a little update. the car is now ready for it engine bay smoothing, scuttle removal and paint on friday, all the loom is now in side the cabin as one pic shows the dash out and the other is with all the engine loom in as well. the other parts are my interior panels that slowly me, my girlfriend and mate (msh) are covering in suede which should go nicely with the leather. hopefully next week should have a pic of my smoothed rocker cover and some engine parts that i have had polished and then get some pics up when the engine bay is done.

AB did you polish the bits your self? I know you can get polishing kits cause i fancy having a go myself, is it difficult?
