Had a chance to prime the inside this week ready for trimming after body painted.
The Miglia is fully rewired and new brakes fitted and working plus running sweet as a nut. The engine is a triumph spitfire , and was rebuilt as was the gearbox plus overdrive. So overall a good week. next week going to the bodyshop for paint.
The dash will be trimmed in black leather as so the seats.

Will it be at Stoneleigh? Knowing you, I suspect that you don't really care if its not! But I think you deserve a bit of ohh'ing and ahh'ing at what you've made!

That's looking sooo nice - a bit like a small G46 (whatever that is..)

Nice work Mike. Looking very slick.
What rear lights are you using - they fit well and look period.
I am definitely coming down on Saturday to have a look and take some pictures to help me with mine! (which is currently no further forward unfortunately due to a role change at work and other jobs in the eveing and weekends!)

Just a thought but does the wheel block air flow through the radiator?

Well Gary , funny you should say that, but i think it will be good as there is alot of space for the airflow , and the wheel is not solid so the air will flow through it.
Also when i drive the car i will find out. The worst thing that could happen is i might need to fit a electric fan Dont forget the Reliant scimatar has the spare wheel in front of the radiator..
P s me old mate, did you get my p m regarding your kit ?

Also Tony the rear lights are morris minor for stop and tail, the other red lights are lucas and they are the red flat glass versions, i think used on most early morris , british leyland cars.
The Miglia is a 1963 so i can have red flashing indecators , and clear flashing front lights.. A nice period look i think , i want to add period parts to take it away from the tipical kitcar halfords look .
Anyway just wondering with your new role change mate, how are the Ann Summers Parties doing ?
They must do a good selection of gear nobs for yours

Bonnet fitted today, Also bonded and interior frame. screen fitted plus seat bases made , so allow them to hinge forward to access the luggage area.
The seats have a bespoke leather covers to fit after. they can be made in any colour or material. looking good for next week to prep and paint.

Mike, are you around on Saturday?
I will pop over if you are and have a look.
Also do you think my floors could be available for then as well?
Might get some done on mine this weekend!
And no, my role as an Ann Summer model hasn't started yet Apparently at the interview I was too early
