Re: nice

I DO like that centre console, what is it from ?

It is aluminium but I'm still working on it. It will be better (I hope). The gauges are water temp, battery and oil pressure. The switches are, from left to right, red is ignition, first toggle switch is headlights, then heater, flasher, rear window heater, wipers etc.)

You are putting the arches back on aren't you?
Looks sweet mate

Yes, they're already on. We changed front fenders, front panel and rear arches.

Last Saturday, we worked on the engine, changed the valves and the gaskets and cleaned it.

I think you should paint the engine whilst it's out. Would look great when re-assembled

[phantom_r32]

I decided to paint the cylinder head cover, timing belt cover and the strut brace to metallic blue.

Finally front and rear spoiler is done Now, we're trying to fit the 5-speed box. I think I should drill both side of the tunnel.

Rear spoiler









Front Spoiler

The old paint has partially removed and primed but it seems I have a lot of bodywork to do Nowadays I am very busy and I can't deal with my baby

Hi everyone

I think I got a problem with my new front fenders. One of them is original FOMOCO but the other (right one) is not. In the below pics you can see the grooves. So, do you have any idea about how to make both grooves the same without removing the fenders? (I don't want to remove them again).





Btw, the bodywork is almost finished I am going to replace the body rocker panel (left side - don't know if the name is correct) I think it's in a poor condition.

We closed the gap in the left fender. Now, both grooves have the same clearence.

good on you mate keep at it

[phantom_r32]

Finally, the left rocker panel has changed.











Now it seems little better than before.

I cleaned all of the ventilation stuff and removed the vinyl part from dashboard
