i still have to fit the -

Firewall.
New suspension
wiring
glass
seats and internals etc
New brakes front and rear (Discs courtsey of Fossie)
WCXM
Fuel / brake lines
Engine
in fact, everything!!!

it is a bare shell with only a set of front legs and an axle to keep it rolling.

the work done is excellent, it's just that i keep getting told "next week" and so on, however i will Definatly have it home for christmas, finished or not - cannot afford to lose two weeks of Valuable holiday time when i could be working on it.

Havent paid one penny to him yet therefore its not the usual tale, and the guy doing it is a really nice decent guy with high quality work, surely he would want the cash with Chrimbo around the corner..

will update by the end of this week
