EDDIE MC VEA Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Been doing another bit, both units now on the chassis,lighting checked,a few more lights to fit,I will solder all the wires for a good contact, before closing all up, I have left off any thing that can be damaged with my clumsy fingers until the end, doors and wing mirrors,glazing etc, next step is detail painting and finishing, have started polishing with a drop of good car wax giving a great finnish. Also all the equipment needs to be done and fitted. This project is for my own pleasure with a few additions that don't represent the real thing, having trawelled the net there are many different variations, including the addition of a flashing blue on the telescopic flood light.
