i took some slightly better daytime pics, poor camera, dew on the car and dirty car but better than last nights effort.

A car like yours (sooooooooooooo clean ) can be dirty all the time and we wont even take notice

Keep up the good work man and when do we see this beauty in real life

That is a sweet motor mate like what you have done! Do you get any condensation in your headlights now with you splitting them?

thanks for the comments.

no condensation, i've had them apart 3 or 4 times now too.

i bought some of those speedo rings off ebay so will fit them up in the next few days and post some pics, also painted a spare clock surround i had in gloss black so i can build it all up and fit it onto the clocks.

right, got my adaptors machined down 4-5mm along with the bolt heads and wheel bolts shortened, he also pressed on some custom spigot rigs which fitted my wheels better, now i get very minimal rub with people in the car over large bumps. [Y]

also cold starts have been a bit rough lately so today i sprung for a new temp sensor and 1.5l of g12.

received my ebay purchase of 2 x aluminium speedo rings, i'd already prepped and primed a spare surround but lacquered this one to make it a bit glossier.
