Update time! Normally I'm bad at taking photos as I go and this time is no exception so I apologise now.
Brakes and Suspension
All the suspension got stripped off and repainted, the O/S trailing arm had rusted through so got swapped with another I had in stock. The kingpins and wheel bearings were all changed along with the driveshaft UJ's. Protech shocks have been fitted all around with Monte Carlo springs. New kunifer brake pipes have been run and being a rear mount Servo car there certainly plenty of them, I also made a front disc conversion using MK2 Fiesta parts.
Wiring
I bought a new loom from Autosparks (my hand was slightly forced there being the original loom had been cut into 4 sections when I got the car) and then modified it to include a fuse box, relay box, an amp and speakers and soon an alternator conversion.
Body
Not much has changed on the body since the last photo at the end of last year as I've been concentrating on getting the car running for Going Dutch but due to the unfortunate circumstances at the moment I can now take it more steady and flat the paint and polish back up and fit the trim. Got a fiberglass Sport engine lid from Honeybourne Mouldings to paint and fit. The sound deadening has been going in with a layer of Damping Mat and then a layer of Sound Absorber on top of that on the roof so one of Lesley's headlining's can be fitted now and some Damping Mat has been applied on the rear shelf with some more ready to go on the floor.
Made a set of wood cappings for the dash out of Oak and clear stained, (Yes before anyone comments I know the grain doesn't run correctly through to the little triangle piece (which actually matches the end of the gauge piece which is hidden behind the binnacle) but I've got enough wood to make 3 more sets and some walnut burr which can applied to this set to hide the miss match grain if it annoys me in the future.)
So in total of 3 months work I managed to take 3 photos a new record I think, anyway stay safe everyone and hopefully we'll be having a pint in a field at some point this year.
