cleaned up under the bonnet and repainted k member where it was over-sprayed.steering i have converted to power found out that the column is too short.the new box i fitted is power it must have been a manual before thats why the column is shorter.

took all day to make and plumb the brake pipes. fitted a proportioning valve to the rears. i had one and if i fit discs it will save me redoing the pipes later. good news is the brake bleed well and i have a solid pedal.seats came but i ran out of time to make frames.

i thought the outside colour should be body colour , unless your vehicle came with the decor package and as such would have brushed stainless cappings.

nick looked on my car and there are 2 edge trims like you thought , but instead of the cross section being flat like the one next to the quarter panel interior trim , they, should be a L section hope this helps richard
