Cant wait to see the paint with all the sheet metal on (great idea with the lines).
I am assuming the doors aren't staying completely white.

Thanks. No the doors won't stay completely white.

I'll add some photos of the grey tomorrow.

The 'new' grey is in........


Will be tidied up of course, but for now it's in.

Trying to sort out the wiring now.

I bought the car partially disassembled and have just noticed that I have only one fitting for front and rear indicators. (the part the globe screws into with wiring attached)
None for the taillights either

Are the ones at Rarespares the right thing?
They look a little different and there are different types with the same description.

Is this my best option for getting hold of these?

have a look at FBVAN's threat in electrical - 'indicators'... these Narva parts cost (from memory) $6-7 each. I used them on my FC; no probs at all. Check out the Narva website for pics, but they're almost identical to original bulb holders. I got mine from Autobarn, but anyone who handles Narva products will either stock them or get them in for you

cheers, jack

Thanks Jack.

I've just had a look on the Narva site......

Looks like the same as at Rares. I'll have a look at Autobarn tomorrow. They will be cheaper than Rares.

I'll let you know how I go.

Are you going with the linkages or running a cable accelerator?

I kinda miss the old 138 .

It'll be a cable accelerator.

Aaaaaww Trev's getting all sentimental.... That is a good little grey though, runs like a good 161 hey Trev.

Motor looks good sitting in there.

It's a ripper .

We need an update on this one thanks, hows the old motor going? Trev .

An update would be great...

Weird that you posted that today Trev.
Got back out to the EK this weekend after another almost 12 months.
Front guards and bonnet got a coat of paint.
I'm hoping to get a regular go at it again now.
I'll post a pic soon.

Thanks for the nudge guys!

Oh yeah. The motor is all good Trev.
It gets a turn over every now and then

Nice
