This weekend we stripped the dash out for conversion to right hook , and to properly weld the holes that dont need to be there any more.

and fitted the seat belts and cut some rear speakers into the parcel shelf. Got all the belts in , which I was pretty happy with , considering how fiddly that job can be........

Yes its entered in the hot rod show - I am trying to have it ready by next saturday for 3rd inspection. :shock:

Got the throttle cable in last night , finished off the brake lines , finished manualising the power steering rack , modified the steering wheel adaptor to suit the HX column , and put the dynamat in .
