Hood drains now clear, sils dry and pumped full of waxoyl, as are the doors, 250 mile trip to Wales this weekend with no problems, had the top down as far a swindon, then had to stop and put it up, bloody british summer!

Friday 21st is good for me for a pick up of my kit, if that is ok with you.

Picked up my kit today very pleased, thanks to Chris and Dan for all the advice, oh and I forgot to say thanks for the tea.

It was good to meet you and I'm glad you are pleased with the kit.:D

It's always exciting when the first of a new type of kit is due for collection, and I am really pleased with the way the new rear end fits and looks now.

Please keep us informed of your progress.

New MOT on the base car this week lights fitted, vents cut out and kit trimmed, just need a dry day off now to start.

tonyt 6th October 2012 01:34

Got the kit home. http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/...9-21215731.jpg

Loving the pics, keep 'em coming!!!

tonyt 6th October 2012 01:47

This is as far as I have got before rain and work set in. Need to clear my garage of junk! http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/...0-03193523.jpg

tonyt 6th October 2012 01:50

Thanks Tytek, hardest part is working out the Photobucket part.

tonyt - First of all, good luck with your build.

I'm building a Sammio Cordite on the forum section "next door" and love this photo...

It makes my front drive build area look quite normal. :icon_wink:

Jokes aside, I do have one question / request for you...

I have bought very similar (if not the same) rear stop/tail & indicator lights.

Is there any chance you can take a picture from the other side to show how you have held them in place?

Cheers, Paul. :)

tonyt 6th October 2012 20:14

As requested http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/...0-06140745.jpg

Paul L 6th October 2012 20:58

Thanks Tony, that is a big help to my own build. :cool:

Hi Tony.

Looking good :biggrin: One concern is the position of the front numberplate , below the grille, I dont think you will have enough ground clearance once the kit is on the car :icon_frown:

Keep up the good work and get that garage cleared out, long dark evenings are upon us.....

garyh 8th October 2012 07:49

Can't you have the number plate above vents?

tonyt 8th October 2012 16:59

Day off today, raining! Still a fruitfull trip to my local scrap yard, all this for a £10 note, no Mondeo or Rover was safe. Lots of grill and vent options to consider. Noted number plate issue mine is on standard springs so may be ok if not a stick on plate above the vents will be the answer.http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/...0-08164246.jpg

tonyt 8th October 2012 17:10

My original idea was a Mondeo ST grill with the surround painted black, think a chrome surround would be better, combined with the ST mesh.http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/...0-08164744.jpg
