had to make cable clips outa some copper as no one had anything suitable in stock 

throttle pedal aint gonna fit where or how it should

its got the right mon on the job now.. shes a nice looking motor mike are you keeping it how it is looks wise like the colour too suits her well

nearly everyone whos seen her in the flesh asks what colour am i going to paint her 
three people think she,s in primer, its actually top coat thats been flatted back .. i think i,ll stick with the colour and add some black detailing . a bit along the lines of the original car ..

put just over 12hrs into her today ,,had her running and warmed through  carbs allover the place but can be sorted 
as for braking system  i wish people that dont understand em wouldnt play with em ,,fancy fitting new cylinders and shoes to rusty siezed backplates and adjusters  (the outside has been ,blasted, and panted but the internals was grotty ,, the brake servo was wrong fitted and didnt even line up with the brake push rod and i fond five of the brake pipe ends had the wrong flare .. so i,ve re-done the lot just the rear axle pipes to do in the morning when i build the rear brakes back up (wet paint stopped progress tonight)
throttle pedal mounting and cable to remake and fit tommorrow, and some wheel studs and nuts to source to correct yet another fault

basically i bought a kit with have the wrong parts ,bodged, on 

but we have the technology, lol,, (old school )

temp wiring loom sorted ,elec watta swatta sorted,, fuel lines sorted,, B&M shifter modded and fitted for the 3rd time,sorted,  brakes working sorted,,auto trans sorted,,
so i fired her up all was well, ::)or so i thought  wet overall legs,,, red stuff all over the garage,,,,,bloody trans cooler loop pipe had ffffffing well burst
