Ross,
At the moment I doubt I'll have the car at the show. There's just too much to get done in the next two weeks. The car currently holds an Ontario title, so it requires an out of province inspection which will delay things a bit (at least I think it will). I'm having a hard time finding a shop that speaks old British cars and is relatively close to Coquitlam. The car also has to go back to the paint shop for minor touch ups and polishing, though if the car is inspected and ready for the road before the 19th, I may delay the paint shop till after the show.
Other than that, here are some pics of what's been happening (I did post most to instagram a few days back, so sorry for double posting):
Door inserts created and covered. They're definitely not stock, but it doesn't bother me much. I'll redo them if I keep the car long enough.
The center console was fabricated:
I'm not overly happy with it, but it should do just fine for the time being.
I had to remake the dash top which ate up a bit of time, but it looks and feels much better when installed:
Other than that, I've remade the lower trailing arms as they seemed to have been damaged sometime between sending the car off for paint and getting the car back. I've also modified the rear lower wishbones so that I can adjust the toe much easier. I had originally just welded a threaded piece of tube to the wishbone that a rod end screwed into, with this set up I would have to disassemble the rear end to set the toe. The new set up allows adjustment without any hassle. Unfortunately I didn't take any photo's of it, but I will once the rest of the car is finished.
I've also started on wiring the whole car, but ran out of wiring bullets. I thought I had enough, but nope. There are more on their way but I wont see them until Saturday. I did however modify one tail lamp and will hopefully have the other finished up either tonight or tomorrow, then it's on to figuring out why the wiper motor doesn't want to work.
I'll post more pics next weekend along with an update.
Rod
