It looks very solid, it looks like your driveway is fixed ;) put the vinyl roof back on, it would look tops with the tail light garnish and the different trim inside. O

Found a whole lot of small added bits which make it unique, posted more pics on the link above showing what I have found so far. Had the painter drop by to see it today, I want home but my wife overheard him say, lot of work here....(I usually use him for small jobs so it will be interesting to see what he has to say)

Hey JR. I just looked at your new pic's of the E, both my v4's have some of those items that aren't on aussie capris. the twin interior lights, the brace for the rear armrest ( but no arm rest fitted ) sunvisor mirror and the day/night rear vision mirror ( But sadly both mirror's were beyond repair, so ive fitted 2000 model laser mirrors ) That light in the drivers footwell might be for the handbrake warning light ( the red lense next to the headlight switch ). both my v4's are XLR GT spec, which was the next under the E. check your headling colour as it will most likely be dove grey not off white like aussie capri's. cheers O

More pics added, Ron take a look at the vinyl roof bits

The vinyl roof kit I got from East kent trim supplies is a very close match to that filler lid.

Got a bit done on the E finally, amazing what a bit of time off from work with no plans can do for you. I stripped out the engine bay and took the car to Erics where several coats of Sapphire blue were duely applied skillfully by Eric. He has done a great job and it's as clean a whistle in there. Now I can refit the freshened up driveline and plan the rest of the body prep.

Drivers seat got retrimmed, vinyl roof kit came over from East Kent, loads of small parts chased up such as grey wire clips, Map reading light, over rider rubbers,

ooooh as a matter of fact the E's wheel has torn leather so yes I'm interested.

Began fitting the engine bay stuff the car is beginning to take shape. I re=coed the master cyl as the E had the single circuit braking system seems a bit inadequate. Perhaps this is why the car is fitted with double horns....[(#)] Seriously there is one piston and one seal inside the cylinder. I'm tempted to convert to Aus spec dual piston master cyl and lines.

JR,

picture number 69 in your 3000E restoration (photobucket), there is a light near the bonnet release that you said you were unsure of - that would be the hand brake tell tale light wouldn't it ?

Paul

Thats what I thought but I cannot see a switch in he handbrake lever.

Todays little jobs are the rest of the braking system. I have 2 new rear wheel cylinders and 2 caliper seal kits.

Tomorrow I should be good to drop the engine and box in

This should be a great cruiser when finished.....enjoying the Melbourne weather, roaring along with the sunroof open.
