-wiring hiden as much that i could
-improvised with rubber chanels and other rubber strips to neaten up certain parts
-currently its got a 1300 carb (as u probably noticed), which will be replaced with a something something soon that i got recently.
its just been cleaned up and waiting for some help to install it .
im hopping to get some work done during our holiday period from the 18th

Was all the work done yourself?

fitting the firewall, rubber finishing trims, spraying the engine yes. most of the other work was done by dave rowley whom i bought most of the bling. he fitted the standard 1300 carb only to see how the motor ran as it is a 1600 that i bought afterwards.

How far are you with the finer details Mr Far. This is one very fine (teehee - finer and fine: Inside Joke sorry) car I say. Ferdinand would have bought it back. Really..... He would have come here with a wad of cash and said GIVE ME THAT CAR!!! -> In German of course.

the finer details are a bit costly.(not sure about bonus ) im a bit stuburn when it comes to details and wont comprimise. i was about to put on my steelies but came across something else this week. hopefully it works out and ill have my original idea back on track. but setting me a bit back on finances. as far as selling goes i will definately not get my costs back coz im way over my budget. i always say everything is for sale at the right price. someone who appreciates the time, work and effort that most of the guyz here put into there metal will pay a decent price. not for sale as yet, will only sell to start the next one

Finer details are the arm and the leg my man. You are never really prepared for how much it really costs.... But it at made sense in your head.... at the time. I know.
