What's the plan then Carlos?  Carlos Fandango wheels and mahoosif arches and a roof spoiler or maybe a bit more subtle?  Whatever it ends up like I reckon it'll be mint with absolutely no bodgery.  What direction are you going in with the motor?  After all, you've had a while to plan it... :-)

I got the keys 5 years ago today. Arches are subtle and colour coded. Fast road engine, massively updated electrics from wired by Wilson.

 

Hopefully I'll get the new front to back loom this week then I can get the rear lights in properly.

That's the way to do it! It'll be lovely to have tip-top electrics wired in properly with no bodgery, mine was 'OK' compared to some on here but it had a few head-scratchers in there.  Who's doing the engine for you?

Not sure yet.

 

The car needs a polish with glaze then an actual polish, so it'll be even shinier

I wish i had more time to have finished the polishing properly before i left :(

 

The roof needs cutting back by hand round the edges so damp-wet cloth with compound and rub like hell :lol:

Just fitted headlight bowls.

 

It turns out I missed a hole when I drilled them before paint on one side so the bowl is only held in with 4 screws on that side.

I need to find the actual headlights next. They're in a grey plastic box with a lid somewhere........
