benpedder Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) on the dash where it is that black stuff. not sure what it is but the stuff that cracks, is it hard to take off? or would you have to take apart the whole dash? thinking about making a new one.

Johno Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Sorry, can't really help you with your dash question. Painting your car has really given me some inspiration to paint my car, started the prep last week.

Doogs Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 progress has been really slow lately :) as there is much more i can do anymore, all that is left is the bootlid being fixed then it can begin being painted ;) Might not be such a bad thing actually, as we draw closer to summer the weather will be much better for painting.

benpedder Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 It's been sitting in the shed for ages without being turned on, so won't start at the moment Dad is getting one of his mates to do something with all the engine mounts. most are done but he took a few more should be here today. It's like a chrome dip but it comes out a goldish kind of colour? Name keeps slipping my mind, then when we get new rubber stripping for the boot the exterior is finished.n :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpedder Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 well it's all together now, need to get the indicators etc to work, it's being stupid only the headlights will work? looks 10000x better than originally so i'm quite pleased with it. will take photos in the light when the car is started, it won't start at the moment, dad said fuel in the carby had most likely evaporated? hasn't been started for AGES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
