well apart from the wiring. I guess the dash is finsihed.





It's not perfect, there's a couple of mistakes. But it's passable.

And the old fog/reverse lamps. New LED "F" one on the way.

Hopefully the LED rear fog/rev should arrive today or tomorrow.

Making some slow progress on the dash wiring but getting there.

Not sure what to do next after the dash wiring, the garage is a tip again as I am in the process of stripping the engine out of my XR4x4 and getting the original no turbo ready to go in ( and trial fitting a Jaguar AJV6 as a point of interest....) so there's engines and parts of everything everywhere.....

Durite modular ones, I got mine from SVC . Come with their own multiplugs so they are fairly neat. I made the infill panel separate so that I can change things easily.

Looking good TT,
I'm swaying to getting black wings now after seeing your build. Do you have any photos of the whole car to see what it looks like.

Not presently,

It seems difficult to get a shot of it in the garage...

Will try and give it a go for you tomorrow.

Black wings on a different colour body looks good (IMO)
Heres a shot of mine, although its blue not yellow!

My seats match too,

Black with yellow piping.

Sorting the colour scheme was an early task in 2010. My eldest ( now 9 nearly ) wanted blue and red ( bit like the Gulf cars ) but since it was my money I won.

Hopefully today I will be able to push my XR4x4 down the drive a bit, move the 24V Sapphire and possibly get the Roadster a little bit of sunshine.
