Awesome work! Cant wait to see this painted, if the work on it so far is anything to go by the finish should be quality.

Thanks, I intend to do the car justice and do it how it should be, not aiming for a concours whore just a very clean usable sport. Got some more parts today so will update tomorrow or sat
Looking great guys! :)
Nick.
Some well deserved hard work going into this, should be very nice when its done.
All the parts look awesome, and the shell too.
Can you PM me what all the powdercoated parts cost you? I'm looking to do a similar thing but wouldn't mind a rough price guide.
It's in the thread Iain. £220 ish for blasting and coating IIRC.
Immense looking build btw Mr Cabby. Will be good to see a famous Sport back on the black stuff. x4 Cibie Super Oscars FTW. lol
Thanks! Its coming together well, everything is on course to be ready for next week so it will all bolt together with relative ease.
The main head ache left to tackle is the wiring harness. Maybe have to call in a favor from a mate who is an auto electrician lol
Small update for tonight,
I asked at the platers about maintaining the finish on the zinc parts, I was told if I lacquer them then it will help, so the main parts got a bit of a dusting over to seal them up, will come up nice with a bit of a polish
