`Getting there. On Friday she left the guys at Custom Vee Dub as they are closing for Christmas.
Apart from having to source some ID57mm Fuel Hose (which I could not find on Saturday) there is nothing to stop her running.
Auto Electrician is back out on Tuesday to finish lights etc..
And hopefully I can take her away for Christmas.

The weekend saw me fitting off all the windows and doors, rubber seals, Door Mechs and miscellaneous items.
Tonight it is interior, seat belts and seats.
And maybe assembling the roof rack If I get time.

Photos are pretty poor due to light and there is a lot of grime on the windows etc from rubber magic but you get the idea.
Very happy with the tint choice too. Not to dark. I think it suits and it will certainly make it more pleasant inside.

Front badge is on with two clips. Will take a bit of work to get the lower one on. And Not a clue how people get the top on behind the heater vents.
Besides which, I dropped one of the 4 clips into the nose. Will need to magnet that out at some stage.

As much as I loved that rack, I think the new one suits the shiny paint a bit better.

This was my job for last night. Figure if I am going to get it running for Christmas I may as well have some where for the boards.

Now to sort fuel issues!
