now that is looking excellent , well done , love the colour !

thanx. guess you would like that colour!

In fact, I think I'll order my Gallardo in orange now instead of blue!!

[vinny]

great work as usual das, keep it up fella

[dasadrew]

coming on das....when will it be done..?....and are you going to take it to any shows over here...?

Overall planning is:

mechanical and electrical all in and running this summer
exterior paint (interior is done) autumn
reassembly interior etc. winter months
on-road, registered and running next spring

Thereafter, it will be seat re-upholstering, 5-speed and the like as individual upgrade projects.

I'd love to think I could go quicker, but I just have too many other things going on as well.

UK is a long way from here, but of course I'd like to bring it across. Shame the real famous old classic event (RSOC National Day) has faded away to the sounds of boom boom boxes.

Cumbria style tour late 2008 would be good. Have got a couple of old flames in the North West who could possibly be tempted!

awesome looking dasa

Yesterday was the marriage ceremony. Decided to put the half-engine back in and continue the reassembly in the car. I needed the space on the garage floor and, to be honest, I needed a bit of motivation and visible evidence that things were advancing.

The head is getting lead-free seats and a bit of gas-flowing done to it. The bloke rang me up a few days ago that it's ready to pick-up. Just need a trip to Germany now to get it.

Still looking for a 12100-JA stamped dizzie. It's the JA on the end of the number I need. The cylinder head chappie says he's got a box of dizzies I can rummage through but I'm not setting my hopes too high.

If anyone's got one, it doesn't need to be in good nick nor owt - just need the casing with the magic number.

It's been raining Main-coones and Bouviers the last few days here and garden work has stopped temporarily, so Jaffa has progressed a bit.

Servo tower had to go bufty, but I resisted the temptation to chrome it after sanding it back to metal.

Bvr

This should be B V R all in capitals - but the f**ing editor won't allow this!

[Mr Hoarder]

Cover-roof ?

Headlining or Black vinyl

Slow progress the last few weeks. Paid work got in the way! Have finished the brake lines now and am well happy with the result.

Engine is ready to go back in and I picked up a bargain Machine Mart -type engine crane on offer at the local supermarket for €99 !

I'm trying to sort out the fuel line run at the moment. I've got a few different good set ups (thanks Joe!) but each one seems to have slightly different pre-formed elbows and bends.

What's in the box? Bought new many years ago - probably mummified dust when I open the box!

dash top...?

[FoMoCo]

To big for carpet trims.
Head cloth?

cheeRS Gary...

[Banishit]

I see you have the grp1 bias valve fitted on the braking system !
