That is looking stunning mate, cant be long now until the final mot stage :)

[crazirob]

well my interior turned up today, let me give you an idea, Tartan red carpets, dash covers, monte carlo door card set, and gold brocade door straps !,

 

however this has made me realize that I still have a lot to do to the pickup before the interior can go in I still need to work out how to mount these bloody seats, I also have got to seal off the cab,

 

so I have to Seal The Cab

- Grommet up all holes

- Door seals

- Windows

- Windscreen

- Fresh Air cover- I brought one from Smiffy's bits but its too small so I need to make one, grr

Doors - Kick Plates x1, Chrome lips x1, Door cards,  Buffers For Bodywork, drainage hose, Door Seal x 1

Bonnet - Leather tan Strap, Morris Cooper S badge, Spring clips ( don't know about these yet opinions please)

Interior - Carpet set which will mean removal temporarily of seat belts, steering column all the seat brackets to then fit the front,

Engine - DRIVE IT !!!

 

This hopefully will be nearly finished next couple of weeks, in time I hope for ace café in December ...... I hope

 

 

 

Wish me luck

Have just read this from the start, great work. love the colour scheme. Sorry to say this ,but as mentioned by someone else the see thru breather pipes look wrong. Just an idea, try painting same colour as engine to see how it looks. Sorry to have put a negative note on what is a truly great piece of workmanship keep it going, cant wait to see it finished.

[crazirob]

Stottie Not a negative at all my friend ! Everyone is allowed there own opinion, once the engine been run and driven they will brown up


On another note half the carpets are in ! Windscreen is in too I have nearly finished off the doors just need to get in 2 more drainage pipes ! I have this weekend off and want to get it finished!

I also need to find the fuel leak and install the filter king tat is sat in my room busy couple of day shrewd I think

[crazirob]

Guys any tips on how to install the dash backing ? do I have to remove the binnacle and then refit it in front of the backing ? its for a mk1 style from newton and commercial ?

 

 

few jobs done today, with the help of my trustee manager !!!

 

fuel leak ---- sorted

Floor & Carpets ---- Installed

Battery lead ---Secure,

What paint did you use to paint your engine? Aerosol?

What green is it?

Thanks alot. Great build by the way, im going with a very similar engine spec to yours so may have a few more questions for you soon :)

[crazirob]

The engine paint was an aerosol from SC Parts, its BMC green, and sounds good feel free to ask !

[crazirob]

Both seats are in ! Battery is in and secure, dash is out again to sort out rev counter, and blank off fresh air vents, just contemplating now on to ditch the speedwell rev counter and fit a more modern one, I.e a smiths, or maybe a stack/racetech ....... Bonnet catch on and locking mechanism sorted front moustache mocked up ready for drilling and mounting, problem with the fuel, when the facet is on, is clearly too much pressure for the hs2's to deal with so has a overflow leak need to get the filter king on and tuned to a suit the fueling required for the carbs which will regulate the pressure of the pump and not flood the carbs
