              The cold weather and being busy at work has slowed progress but i have managed to get the inside painted ,i have got to re-do a few bits as i got a few runs ,but am p**sed of with painting so decided to bolt a few bits back on as a change .i am going to have to completly re-do the brake lines and gear linkage and fabricate a complete new steering column ,oh and a new fuel system and get the engine and box rebuilt ,make some new front wings and possibly rear arches and repaint the outside ,nearly there then

                                Managed to get a bit done this weekend ,new brake lines ,fuel line in up to engine bay (cheers Pig) got a new dash pod so mounted that and cut clocks in ,then started adapting the wiring ,it was a bit trickier than i thought as i have done away with the centre consul and now have an sbd management loom that was a bit different to my old loom ,i am hoping it works but time will tell
