Thanks very much lads

Looking forward to getting a fair bit more done over the hols also going to collect the rest of the parts/gear that will get her all built up... should come together very quickly.

Cracking job shifty, when you fit works indicators did you have to cut holes bigger?

Thanks mate, yes quite time consuming, cut the holes bigger and drilled new holes etc.

Not many parts that I need to purchase now apart from a front screen, maybe a dash top, the gauges oh and a set of door locks!... if anyone has any spare ones let me know... its the type of lock thats not on the handle (below/seperate from the handle on door)

Thanks again lads,
