Right so busy focusing on the commer this keeps getting forgotten about. Did get her a few bits at Beaulieu though.

 

A good pair of headlight rings,

Innocenti door pulls

and the centre speedo housing.

As you can see I have started putting the housing together. Fitting that chrome thing was a nightmare haha. Just need to sort out so counter sunk bolts for it and I'll mount it in and sort out the wiring!

Right well been getting a few bits done.

 

Did a test fit of the speedo and gauges.

 

11012678_10154129026364848_6990378349600

 

Just as well I did as I found out it won't fit properly with the windscreen air vents as the later plastic ones are a different shape to mk1 ones. So I need some mk1 windscreen vents.

 

10473401_10154129026279848_8252446892287

 

Made a start wiring them all up, its always the most simple things you forget, turns out I didn't have any of the small screw fit bulbs for the speedo so I have ordered those, lights for the 2 small gauges sorted, one for the rev counter need needs wiring.

 

Horn is wired up and working,

 

Made a start on the headlights but they still need a little sorting,

 

Got stalks on and the wheel in

Thanks for this guy for helping

Bit more of an update, huge thanks to Geoff for coming over tonight with his expert skills in miniing we got it running and a learned a thing or 2 as well! 

 

Few bits I had got wrong when putting it together which we sorted, only issue is the fly wheel has come loose so at some point this week I'll wang the cover off and tighten it all up and check nothing been damaged. Got a shopping list for Brands Sunday so theres a few more odd bits I can crack on with. All in all a good evening, Nice to hear the engine running. Feeling a bit more positive about the while thing now.

Wang away. I think you will be calling it something similar when you HAVE to take the woke cover bolts at the bottom out. Crack on
