Thanks. No the doors won't stay completely white.J wrote:this is looking great!
Cant wait to see the paint with all the sheet metal on (great idea with the lines).
I am assuming the doors aren't staying completely white.
I'll add some photos of the grey tomorrow.

Re: My "Special" toy
Trying to sort out the wiring now.
I bought the car partially disassembled and have just noticed that I have only one fitting for front and rear indicators. (the part the globe screws into with wiring attached)
None for the taillights either
Are the ones at Rarespares the right thing?
They look a little different and there are different types with the same description.

Is this my best option for getting hold of these?

Re: My "Special" toy
have a look at FBVAN's threat in electrical - 'indicators'... these Narva parts cost (from memory) $6-7 each. I used them on my FC; no probs at all. Check out the Narva website for pics, but they're almost identical to original bulb holders. I got mine from Autobarn, but anyone who handles Narva products will either stock them or get them in for you
cheers, jack

Re: My "Special" toy
Thanks Jack.
I've just had a look on the Narva site......
http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/globe-holders
Looks like the same as at Rares. I'll have a look at Autobarn tomorrow. They will be cheaper than Rares.
I'll let you know how I go.
