Newly completed pedal box and accelerator pedal :

 

 

Just need to clean up the studs and rubber covers before fitment and it's good to go.

So, just to get an idea, I fitted up the grille and bonnet to the car - still some work to do to get it right, might need a new bonnet though. Here we go (excuse the dirt, had some gale force winds and very bad farm fires in this past week) :

Hey Jared... car is looking real good mate!!!

 

Keep up the great work!!!

[Jared Mk3]

Thanks   She needs to go back to the sprayers though, they need to fix up some places . . . Might need another bonnet though, this one is twisted and shows up quite badly with the dark colour.

That Clubman looks sweet. Provides me with some more inspiration for mine!

 

And this...mmmmm shiny

 

 

 

 

Keep it up!

[Jared Mk3]

Thanks mate  That Clubby is my brother's - she runs a 4AGE with a turbo on. Pulls like a train!

 

New parts always look good. It's to keep them clean - especially in such a dusty area like we live in.
