I will have a look to see if I have any of the A pillar trim and dash trim. I'll let you know whether I have them in case your trimmer still hasn't located them.

Look forward to seeing more progress.

Thought I had better update the site on what's happening with my car.

Although it's still in primer I've been busy concentrating on mechanical issues.

All fluids gave been chsnged and every nut/bolt on the underside checked and tightened.

A new Bosch S4 battery has been fitted , with a fast wind starter next on the list.

As the doors have had new bottoms and skins the chrome door trim was temporarly fitted to

check all holes were in the correct place .

The engine was fired up to check everything works OK, although I'm unhappy with how close the plug caps are
To the new stainless headers. I have boot protectors but will need to change the right angle caps to straight ones.

New Years Update:

Still getting the panel fit right
(Especially after seeing a few cars at the NEC!)

Door cards temporary fitted to redrill chrome trim
(New door bottoms fitted + skins)

A few more pictures taken late Jan 2015.

Really hoping it's got paint on it before April 2015

Getting closer to finally putting paint on!

Finally grafted on the last piece of the jigsaw (passenger rear arch)

Lots more to do , had a tinker with the dashboard & controls as well

At last - Paint.

A few snaps of progress over the last two weekends.

Next the main body of the car...

Glad to see this project moving along. It will keep me motivated to do something about mine.
