Looking good James, loving the wheels, I spotted them a couple of weeks back on Midlands website, they are one of the dealers for John Brown. I plan on getting a set of 6x10 for mine to go along with my other 2 sets of alloys haha.

Good call on the speedo as well, I'm after one myself but luckily my center console came with a 110mph so not all bad. Look forward to seeing the shell sprayed up :)

Haha I know the feeling with the wheels, I've already got a set of 6x12 revos :thumbsup:, but you cant put old wheels on a newly painted car can you :). Yeah the 6x10's looked awesome too, they had a set or 2 on their MITP stand, at show prices!

The speedo should be good, but not sure on a speedo cable, as it appears to be a screw on type, and my friend said they are usually clip on.

Me too, cant wait to pick it up! There will be plenty of photos when its back!

Thanks Luke, was good to see you and your Dad again, it has been a while (probably MITP last year!)

Yeah I agree on the speedo, and the Mambas are a bit of a retro touch aswell I think.

You're right, I've got some enthusiasm back now, so really cant wait to get stuck in rebuilding it!
