Also brush painted the wiper motor and some little parts for the roof bows.

Fitted a few other little items not worth photographing.

I was going to fit the wiper motors but I need new nuts and also the washers to fit under them to avoid scratching the paint when they are done up. Anyone know where they are sold?

Seen this over quite a few years now, it's good it's finally going to be finished, look forward to seeing it all done Mark.

your going to need more than a magazine feature, will need to be put in a book with what you and the pop has been through mark.
on the road 2013?

That look s sweet as mate, keep the posts coming :)

Thanks everyone, been a long build eh Steve?
Hope 2013 will see it finished.

I'm using the rubbers as shown all inside the bodywork, the only part you will see on the outside is the nut with the shaft flush with it.
I need new nuts (oo-err!) as these are not shiny enough and some stainless washers to protect the paint from the nuts.

Did you not read my PM ?

Hi John, yes I did, but i don't need the rubbers or their covers.
Its the fibre washers and stainless shim washers I need.

mini spares do brand new nuts for £1 - though looking at mine properly they are actually good ones.

I spent 2 hours searching both houses and the loft again tonight, finally I found the right box for the battery tray, so that is now fitted;

And on the other side is the fuse board fixing panel;

Also got the fuel filter, screen washer pump, electric door shut connectors and the coil fitted.

Wipers are now fitted, made my own stainless washers from some penny washers and punched them out on the fly press so just need to order the felt ones to finish.

Also been polishing the front chassis rails, so sore fingers now! Front struts temporarily fitted while I search the loft for the next bits!

I've been watching this build progress nicely for a while with interest, very
impressed with the paint.

Well done Mark.:yes:

Dave. :)

each bit on is a bit nearer to the finish ,looking very nice looking forward to seeing finished keep the photos coming

Thanks guys

That paint is mental shiny deep and lush I would hate to have to bolt stuff to it my hands are shaking just thinking about it:whistle:

Ha-ha, touch up brush to the rescue!
Already chipped it (chassis) and will chip it plenty more yet no doubt. Touch up with an artist brush usually does not show much, though I'll be very careful on the actual bodywork.

She does look fine Mark, it's gonna look that good mate no one will notice any chip touch ups. Keep it coming.

Cheers. Tim W.

looking good Mark dont scratch it putting the bits back on thats my nightmare :eek: great progress there is light at the end of the tunnel now:)
be lucky Adie

Still polishing :whistle: got all of the rear inside of the car done now, just got to finish off the cage and then more bits can go back on.

All that hard work is paying off now Mark. I'm very impressed with the finish you have achieved. Keep it up mate, its nearly there.
