Joe's doing you proud with his work, Matty................

bet you're getting excited with all this starting to take shape...............

love the fuel flap - unfortunately, most who see it won't appreciate that it's not original - except those who know the model................

thanks for the updated pix,

I think that is why its soooo good. The best mods are the ones that keep them guessing.

Looking schmic. Those door buttons are cool, and well worth all of the hard work that has been put into them

Looking Killa Matty, looks like a small job turned big (i know how that goes ). Looking forward to seeing it take shape and take a coat of paint in the near future.

I see by another one of your post that you got the dash switches out
but not before the dash got painted

[mattymartin]

hey thommo...

the ignition bit broke...

so now i'm on the look out for some NOS switches...
