:grin: Cheers. Borrowed a mates car whilst he's on holiday - got to give it back on the 29th, so the clock is ticking.

Bit of progress today :)





Bit of a mess;



Stripped out;



Chassis legs, dunno why the battery tray has been badly painted black, there's no rot in it;





Bit of help from a mate :)



Cleaning up well;

Good read. That engine is tasty. I don't know if I could be hooped with all that painting on my own car these days as it takes so long, but do appreciate it when I see it.

Flipping the LCD clock display, genius. I didn't know that trick so always good to learn something new too :cool:

Good luck with the rest of the conversion.

Can't wait to see the new motor in this, if you don't get on with it I think with the colours chosen it would look ace in mine!  :cool:  :grin:

That's cleaned up really well.

Nah, just a heat gun and some white spirit.

Got some primer on the areas I'm painting this evening and also stripped down the gear linkage for painting and new bushes.
