Thanks, I spoke to the body shop today and the panels are going into the booth tomorrow. They are planning on starting the re assembly on Monday and I should be able to collect on Wednesday all being well.

Fred’s coming along nicely I’m told, I didn’t get a chance to go this week. But I’m collecting mid-end of next week. I’ve also had the below image sent through. I’ve always liked the gear knob in the old Porsche 917 and the later Carrera GT so I decided I wanted something similar. A guy makes them to order in a variety of woods and finishes. The below is the transfer box one which is 37mm dia and the gear knob will be 47mm.

Nice knob!

I’ve seen similar at Workshop Seventy 7, very well made.

Had a go at replicating the coolnvintage Bluetooth speaker they have done in a couple of builds. Had to completely remove the front panel and then trim both sides down for it to fit. It’s going to need re trimming so I am thinking of dropping to as close to the cup holders as I can and add a crossmembers at the top as it has nothing at the moment.

Almost there, just have the last couple of bits to finish off, the guys at UK Defenders have been great and I cannot speak highly enough of them. Hopefully picking it up on Wednesday.

I had some of the fabric left over from the seats so I used that for the tray of the lower dash, think that and the colour matched trim sets it off nicely.

Looks awesome! Thumbs Up I'm not sure if it's sacrilege to a genuine V8, but it certainly looks amazing! James

Thanks Everyone, it’s been a long time coming. I took delivery back on the 16th November 2017, I have only driven It twice. Once to get a Christmas tree that year and then to the garage. Hoping that it’s going to stay dry for the weekend so I can enjoy it.
