Nice work! Bloody cool car -
Shits getting real now! Couple of last pics when it was all together still. Painter has been going hard on the final prep of the body. Super stoked with progress, lines are all looking sharp ! All going to plan ill have a painted body shell back on the chassis by xmas. Chassis has been getting bagged, brakes, test fit everything, before i pull it back down touch up a bit of paint then bolt everything together for good. Will be chucking everything i can on/in the chassis ready for the body to go back on / less chance of me farking up fresh paint! Discuss here > http://oldschool.co....a/?hl=westpala�

So the ITB setup came with a set of fuel rails with 8AN fittings on them. Im running a returnless system so need a blank fitting or fuel pressure guage to blank the end off the end rail. Any leads? Cant find anything. It needs to be black to match my other fittings already purchased, and female fitting.

Apparently pretty rare these days, should look the part! Havent been made for many years! Discuss here > http://oldschool.co....a/?hl=westpala�

Great success. Went for a wee visit to the panelbeaters last night. Painter has bare metalled and epoxied the body panels eg bonnet, boot, guards, doors etc. Theyve been filled and ready for primer. Rear quarters had been baremetalled and is off to the booth to get epoxied, bit of minor filling next week and smack some primer off. Then its paint o'clock! Getting a wee bit excited to see some colour laid down! Discuss here > http://oldschool.co....a/?hl=westpala�
