Nice one Davina.
You should get some brushed stainless gauges for that cluster.

Money slowing us all down unfortunately :/

Its the 2 gauges for air ride pressure with the 4 switches in the panel above. Shame the faces are white. Electric window switch is out of the Omega but it fits the shape well.

You should be able to change the faces. I did so on the Supra. Had to for MOT
I'm just saving for new portamig welder then I will be able to weld in my new rear quarters and engine mounts.
For now it's slow progress though.
Been trying to get into new work. And although I got it there's no position vin my area yet.
Cash flow is <poo> on minimum wage :/

On Universal Credit , last sick pay this month . Waiting for my "redundancy" pay as well. When that comes through I will be able to get roll over hoop made  then fit the body sides back on so that will keep me occupied for a few weeks.

Got a bit stuck on things, holidays and weather getting in the way. Started to sort wiring loom, removed a box full of stuff not needed, wiring diagram not helping as some colours wrong . Ordered some hole saws to make grommet holes as the largest is 63mm , have to move the ABS unit and make new mount as the inner wheel arch fouls . That leaves me with less room to fit relay box above, found a diagram for under bonnet relays but nothing for under dash ones. Looks like its meter time.

Ah wiring the arch enemy. Have fun.
I'm luck alot of the Swap stuff is plug and play.

My project has stagnated though lately.
I order my welder two weeks ago and still no sign of it moving.
I have all new bearings and hubs ready to go on with extended wheels studs.

Might get the full bush kit from Hardrace so that I can press in new bushes and paint the Subframe.
Gives me plenty work while waiting for me welder.
Once welded it's paint time :)

Slow progress is still progress, days off have given me time to work out (would have said design but still fluid) a mounting for ABS in my head. Found a heater blower on the bay, hair dryer type and just what I needed . See things fall into place, only looked for something to do stuck in!!

We just picked up this 1966 Rambler Classic 770 convertible. It's right hand drive. The main reasons we bought it are also the main reasons we shouldn't have bought it: It's a big boat, it's a convertible, it's a project car.  ;D

Nice, there used to be a Rambler convertible that drag raced when I raced my Challenger early 80s . It was still about a few years ago. AMC 360 V8 and Chrysler auto box ??

It's nice to have a slice of Home.
I always stick with the Japanese Honda and Toyota.
But I unfortunately ain't Japanese in anyway! D:

A RHD American car seems to sum up our relationship. I don't know if that qualifies it as a great combination or crazy mishap :-D
