After spending a few weeks working on the front I'd noticed that I had zinc coated the latch the wrong colour and the mechanism was faded. Sacre bleu!

Clean pedals.

Centre consul fitted and secure.  New heatshrink tube on the gear stick and a new alloy knob. Ok, it's not quite all stock looking I know but I do have a spare consul and original plastic hand grip. The mats are new and a big thanks to Klaus for the carpet under the seats. What do you think, go OE or keep the little bit of bling.... I like it :)

Your car was never going to be OE Jonny, it was always going to be way better than that, I say keep your bit of bling, I love it :tup:

Well it's gone as far as I can take it, so off to Dan at HPE in the near future. He did pop over to sort a few niggles, measure up the oil and fuel hoses and fit the drive shafts. 

The front clam was a bit of a phaff as I had to remove it to reposition the doors. No real drama when all said and done.  But I've got to say, it felt good getting the clam on after three years and 2 months off the car.

Superb. Now don't even consider driving it when it's finished.

It will ruin it :blink:
