Thanks! Little sneak peak at the light grey interior.
Girlfriend suggested the colour options, so this one's for her.

Chrome trim has been done, now I need to clear coat and then put the colour in the marker lights, finish the grill and the interior, and all set!

Little look at my terrible engine wiring... it's the third time I have done it, and it still isn't great.

I kind of like the dirty scratched look of the engine...

Great progress! Engine wiring looks okay, just go with a lighter gage wire. I've got a 1/2 dozen or so pre-wired distributors I picked up from different manufacturers. They look great and simplify the problem.

Declan, that looks fantastic! Your engine wiring is better than any I've done. I did only one or two for clients who commissioned me to build them a car. hey loved it so I at least did something right, but it still didn't measure up to this.

Thanks mate, I have tried a prewired one before and I really liked it. I agree about the smaller gauge wire.

I bet yours was fantastic, perhaps you should post some images? I bet they enjoyed their commissioned builds.
Thanks for your comments!

Looks good to me, Declan. I managed to swipe a few wirings from old laptops at my workplace they were tossing. Various sizes and colors too.

Thank you Declan. Unfortunately those pics were lost in a distant computer crash.

Yes they did enjoy them. One guy was so impressed and surprised at how well it looked that he gave me a bonus. That was an unexpected bit of awesomeness!
