Bit concerned about those right angle brackets for the seat belt receivers though - they look like they would just buckle if put under any stress.

Hear ya Mark...They have bit more angle on them than the photo shows...I also welded on a stiffing plate on tunnel topside and a spreader bar behind.


Gluing done....trim going in. Combination of original and new leatherette...










Next up...seat retrim front and back

Best get back to it ...

Interior progress...






Door sorted...

Nice to send out parts and get them back, bolt on ready...

Tinware prepping...

Last few bits of engine prepping...









Delivered...

Found "that" dark silver...







Factory finish, just a few shades darker


CN36...

The eagle has landed...








No heat exchangers for now, but couldn't resist fitting the rebuilt control boxes

Testing out some polishes, paint is going to come up a treat. Nicely aged and hiding some past vinyl exploits...

Brakes bled, solid pedal. Repositioned and ready for that restart...




Onwards !

Blimey! That's what you call a progress update! Looks great!!!

Looking really good - love the colour of those wheels.

That's looking very good Chris, particularly like those heater control valve units...... maybe because I need a heater

Over think it, make it...

Needs some fine tuning, but pleased how this turned out. Ebay 356B pipes and a stepped connector from car parts shop, some cuts, some welding and afew choice holes later.....Got a plan for the original outlet

(Other reason why ? The new Dansk exhaust outlets sit about 1/2 inch higher than the original exhaust, meaning the centre pipes I fitted were hitting the valance panel)

Oil pressure, Fuel pressure, (forget that the oil filter cap is loose).....and crank !
