Made the side pieces for the firewall today.


Trail fitted the rear bumper. The old bolts were rusted. It took me quite some time to get the old ones out.

Cleaned the fuellines and petrol tank and installed the tank.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement! It keeps me going.

Drilled some holes in the body to fit the Ghia badge on the boot and on the side.
I had to import 2 sealed beam headlight housings. I could not find european spec lights. I layed down the wiring to the headlight and installed it last night

If I may ask what are you gonna do with the wheels? Something special in mind, please do tell.
Well done and keep it up.

EMPI 5! I'm still intrigued by the carbon fibre steering wheel horn cover, is that the only other custom part?
