Thanks Neil, still a shit load of work to prep and paint, no engine start yet I thought about using the original loom for a split second and decided to go a new harness with a painless fuse panel. So as soon as I finish the wiring it well get a kick !

Painted the boot lid today looks better than what it is, need to sand and buff to get the slight orange peel out but I am happy with the results so far.

Been plugging away slowly,

Got some wiring done and want to finish that off this weekend.

A bit more paint, and honestly this has really slowed me heaps, just learning the ropes, shortcuts and technique.
I am satisfied with the way its coming out but boy its been a steep learning curve !!!!

I have wet rubbed the body in prep for polishing, boot stone tray and cowl are off the gun, getting better at that as well experimenting with reducer hardener etc.

My chrome is in 2 shops at the moment and has been there since December, I keep thinking about the time this is taking and then look at the pros they seem to be snowed under as well !!!!

Wiring diagram after the weekend.

Looking great mate

Looking great Greg - It's a frustrating journey - the time flies past and progress seams terribly slow and even mores when you get to the final steps - little delays just keep popping up - keep at it - you will have a killer car for sure.

Nice job off the gun Greg

Hey mate your car is looking great and I take my hat off to you for even attempting to paint your own car and I feel your pain re the wiring it will all pay off in the end I still have to tidy up my wiring and I keep procrastinating about it but it one of those jobs that just has to be done.
Can't wait to see this finished.
Regards

Thanks for the inspiration guys !!

Got some more wiring done yesterday, its a bit messy at first but once you start running everything its not so bad.

So I used a painless wiring fuse box (expensive but easy) and I bought a loom off ebay that pretty much does everything I need. Just a word of warning the non painless wiring looms are designed for left hand drive which suited my fuse location but there will be a couple of wires that end up short because of the steering column opposite location.
I also need to have the computer for the injection spliced in with a couple of triggers so I decided to mount that under the passenger seat, there is enough loom with the holley kit for that location.
No work today family time !!
