Hey Matt.
I know - its gettin very exciting.
I lost a couple of jets for the carby so just got them back in.
Front n rear glass.
Door skins - I have the material - just have to do the trim.
I have ordered carpet and rear seat upholstery from UK - so fit that.
Rear parcel shelf and the the little bits - belts n trims.
Oh - bonnet and boot.
Wow it actually sound like a lot when u write it.
 
U driven yours yet?
Those carby seals were pricey!!!!

Yeah gone for a drive.  Not running the best as it only really revs to 4k then seems to choke itself.  Will get it tuned properly soon.
 
Couldn't believe the price of new seals.  They were only $18USD for each carb but the postage was around $50USD.
 
So you'll be up and running in a week or so?

I know what you mean - post from US is a killer sometimes.
I have not got parts coz of it and then the next guy is next to nothing.
Can never figure it out..
 
If you mean a month of next weeks.

peeled the old vinyl off carefully.
put some foam where the carpet was.
glued the vinyl along the bottom back first and let it set.
then i put glue down in the grooves of the old pattern. Flipped the vinyl onto it, patted it and flipped it off again to get a pattern of where the glue needs to go and then glued that side. (u can see in the pic)
Let it set till very dry.
Then flipped it over again and stretched it a little (not too much) and started at the bottom pressing it into the grooves working my way up.
let it set.
Then glues it up around all the edges.
 
I shoud do a tube vid i suppose.
I was very happy with the result for a home job.
