Very nice, I just started masking to start painting myself. It will be interesting to see who finishes first. A pic with the Yellow one would be good.  Good luck with it David.

That should be you - I've got a motor at the machine shop & I can't see the motor coming back together for a month or so. I'll just be doing a few bits & Pieces until the motor is in thr car & it 'runs'. The interior is the last piece in the jigsaw and I haven't really got started on that (it might get put on the back burner if the expnses get too high).

Yes, the interior is the part that gets difficult. The panel work can be repaired (at a cost) but some of the interior parts are getting hard to find. I'm missing one of the release levers on my Scheels and a pair went for $50+ on Ebay [:u] Also i would love a mint set of RS door trims to suit a coupe but they're not around that much either. I guess it's a decision whether to go original or aftermarket........I know which might be cheaper! Car's looking fab Dave - Gotta love white

13 x 7 Rebels or 15 x 7 B45's I might run both sets and see what I like most. I'd always wanted B45's on any car I've had in the past - but I think the 'Rebels' will be the preferred wheel................they just seem right (I think its the depth of the rim).

.jpg)  Wasted weekend - went to repaint the motor etc and the paint is the wrong colour (2nd attempt from the paint shop). The motor won't go into the car in this guise.

Fresh pic of the motor that is now in the right colour. Start to add a bit of bling (And a Car) and the project moves along. Paint has a bit of a pearl finish that doesn't come through in the photo. Its going to be a shame to get this car dirty.

  Driveline is in - but the motor hasn't been started yet as we have to plumb up some more bits & pieces. I expect to hear it going in next 2-3 weeks.

Very nice, the engine is clean enough to eat off.
Good luck with the build Dave.

The rebels are 10 times better. Gold colored wheels don't suit a light colored car, dark blue or black = spot on. U could always paint the gold black and have the shiny rim edge.............but then they are rebels  Car looks great Im envious
