 Yeah no happy, certainly wouldn't recommend.

Read all my messages without a single reply.

Tbh there other business where I'm having to battle to give them work, most don't reply.

you still had no luck with a template mate

could you not pick out some measuring points for me to measure of the images

No template yet mate.

I've got the bolts off the borrowed column so I've holes I can mark through but still nervous the top has slot adjustments a couple of mm out at top is loads at bottom.

We're pulling and engine from my brothers mk1 cabby at weekend so I'll see if I can get sone ideas off that.



A measurement from the bolt through the bulkhead off column to a point like that might help?

👍

No updates on metal work.

I've decided with all this work into the car it deserves a new wiring loom, so I've set someone on to custom make a brand new loom with a few tweaks but I think it will be worth it.

I've also ordered the finishing touches, the stainless steel bolt kit 🙈




I've narrowed down the wheel choice but the colour is still wide open for suggestions.

Hey im just catching up on the build, looking great btw. Out of interest where did you get the stainless bolts and bits from please? thanks

They popped up on a forum but might be over on eBay too.

Moved onto engine now for a change.

It's all stripped and started cleaning it up ready for paint.



Not had much free time over last few months.

I've got orange, silver and black paint but I don't know what's going which colour yet.

You say that but there's far more involvement of my Instagram page, one post got 12,000 likes where as on here it gets very little in the way of comments.
