top man mr shaun!!

Alright there, how's the painting going mate? also i no it might be a bit late after you've done all that work on the 1L engine, but what i was gonna say is that i've got a spare 1.4 that you could have had, pm me if your interested, it's got all the ancillaries and gbox etc etc.

Not a huge amount has happened, went down this morning to see the car and take a few pics.

The car now takes pride of place within the paint booth as the TR7 that was in front of it in the queue is almost finished.

My GTE front seats are now at the upholsterers to get re-trimmed in the grey tweed to match the back seats. The headrest holes are being covered over as I'm ditching the headrests. The seats should be ready by the end of January.

So it won't have front headrests?

Nope.:thumb:

nah.. that will look cool shaun ive always liked no head rests


cant wait to see it in paint

How long will it be in the paint shop Shaun?

He's got a 1980 Porsche 911 booked in for the back end of January, so I'm hoping it'll be done before then. He anticipates having the engine bay done within the next few days. I'll try and pop down for pics as much as I can without being a nuisance.

looks good seeing it in the booth mate, hope it gets done soon.


iain

Looks good mate!
