I should really post an update, so this is to remind me to put up some pics tomorrow
New wheels are finished and on, had to roll the re-done rear arch cos the lip was quite wide and the wheel offset is low, ruined it in the process cos of the way the lips had been done (double skinned and spot welded) so that needs re-doing now. Meh.
Bought some sport seats, they're grey and need refurbing. Leather. Will be re-finished in black - Currently in bits. Replaced one of the bolster leathers with a new one because it was beyond repair.
Handbrake stopped working cos the shoes have seemingly disintegrated. Friends did the same, just shed what was left of the ancient friction material which is now rattling around inside the drum... Ordered new brake shoes, brake disks, brake pads, brake disk backplates, brake hoses, and wheel bearings for the back.
Also bought a Momo Prototipo steering wheel because it came up for a good price in as-new condition, and its much less bank breaking than the Nardi Deep Corn I originally wanted!
New fuel hose waiting to go on because the front section which goes from the hard line up to the engine bay is rock hard and I'm worried it will split soon. (Has happened to people in the past and caused fire......)
Still deciding what to do about the spray, colour wise etc...
Started listing all my spares for sale because I seem to have accumulated over £1000 worth... A lot of stuff has gone up in value since I got the car a couple of years ago, and I have a lot of bits kicking around which I got from breakers who didn't know their value etc. So that will all go towards the bodywork and paint!
The stone chip in the rear arches has failed and is starting to flake off, so I will get whoever does the re-spray to take them back and do it again properly with decent stone chip (gravitex, not tetrosyl)
Mechanically still hasn't missed a beat, now on 203,500 miles and ticking. Lots of several hundred mile days out.
