Looking cool Tim - it's grat to see it in one colour after looking at a patchwork quilt for months. I love black as a car colour but understand it means the bodywork has to be spot on.

Can't wait to see it finished.

Tim - you don't need a durant mirror do you? - I've got one left over - ideal for being able to look at pedestrians on the other side of the road, and also look cool

Many thanks to Barry for the metalwork, Alan for the Paint and Dan for the loan of his trailer again.
It is now all up to me

Poor old Dan: I saw him checking for smoke in the exhaust and didn't have the heart to tell him the engine's not in

.

Thanks for the comments Tim: I have to say I was very pleased that you were pleased (if you see what I mean). Best wishes with the next stages: I'm looking foward to seeing some pictures of it's progress

I'm just going through the list of bits I still need ! Frightening

Yes, they're yours. I'll despatch it all this week. One good indicator, one poor, both lenses good.

Got a decent wiring diagram ? I've got the Haynes one !
(Cross posted to IB forum too)

I can email you the odd extra photo if you like, this is all I have at the moment, which I took after completely stripping cleaning and generally cleaning up

yours is diferent to mine I can already see as you seem to have some pipes running inside the inner wing zone, which i do not have....

I did also did a sketch diagram of which coloured wires went where on the fuse panels, which might be a start for you

let me know if I can help more

Thanks Jonathan, Picture is a great help (I think!!)
And many thanks to Bert for lending me the service manuals and letting me re-kindle the 911 driving experiance with a quick blast around South Notts in Jazi

Still grinning
