That's good progress Paul , lots done since I saw it , I think the pics don't do the colour justice , Fiesta yellow is really a 'retro' colour and will be stunning when all the bits are attached , looking forward to seeing it out in the new year . G

Looking fantastic Paul, can't wait to see your car out on the road. I know you've got some serious engine plans afoot - will be interesting to see, hear and watch the finished product drive!

Indeed loads have been done since the last update. Engine is in, exhaust and carb installed, electrics almost complete. Bumpers and MK1 grille installed. Carpets down etc. Retro Cobra seats with headrests on the way.

I will take more pics to upload soon....

Here is the latest pic of the project. The engine fires on the button (Thanks Ger for the online tech support, at least I was not onto a helpdesk in bangalore)

Seats are in and looking lovely
