Doing some micro-work while I fit the boot spoiler.
Boot switch.

Spoiler is ready.
Mirrors ready.
3 door skins fitted.
 
Had a chance meet up with a fellow esky at the parts shop monday.
Nice to meet you Nick (the_cheese).
 
P.S. Matt I did take video of the door skins, just might take a little time to compile.

Ok - well I have had a few things to do around the house so its been a bit slow.
Seats belts carpet and console are all in.
Installed the bonnet struts.
Fixed the steering prob by shifting the strut tops inwards to get purchase on the tie rods below.
Pulled a big week and a big monday and got to drive it for the first time in 14 years last night :-D

Was a bit worried about the brakes coming down the drive as I have never used them to this point.
They worked well - need bedding though.
Needs a tune/balanced.
Steering is great.
Not the greatest pic but...
 

 

Technically, is that a "drive" or a "roll"?
 
Looks great.
 
Matt

 
Mean!!!!
 
Nah after that the photographer (Sarah) got in the car and we went around the block a few times and ducked over to a friends around the corner.
I'm sure the neighbors were impressed.  
 
Now for an exhaust.

Looks the goods man! Very very tidy and sharp!! 
 
Mine is just about to hit the road again too - waiting on brake caliper pistons to finish off my front end rebuild! Build thread coming soon!
