So I painted the boot lid with 1k acrylic nail polish. Smells awful but it is quite shiny. Now undecided what to do.

That's a big order from Boots for the nail polish Keith.. Plenty loyalty points for you there .

Looking very shiney , nice one.

Been a long time since I posted but a few pictures here. Glass back in, wiring replaced,rear trim and seats cleaned and refitted.just trimming an offcut of carpet for the floor. It's not too far away now. Thanks to Scott for a scratch free windscreen!

Very nice Keith, coming together if you have the carpet down. Have you fired up the engine yet? Is that also in ?

Cheers
Col.

Hi Colin, engine is in but I filled the radiator with water that promptly decanted to the floor so I need to take a look at the radiator. All the hoses are tight.?

Looks great, note the steering wheel of the "correct" size.

Bus steering wheel might need to go evenyually

Keith, is block drain tap for coolant (just above oil filter) open ?

[lm57krm@gmail.com]

Good shout John, will have a look at that. I forgot all about it!

[lm57krm@gmail.com]

Leak was under bonnet, not quite tightened up heater hose. Easy mistake when rushing!

[John A. Ross]

Oh yeah, at least you found it ! hopefully just water at moment, coolant never dries up rpoperly and keeps you floating in the car for a bit

[lm57krm@gmail.com]

Yes John, just filled with water just now. Coolant only required once it's commissioned for the road!

Well, it’s taking shape but has slowly morphed into non standard mode. The standard seats were not to my liking due to safety ie no headrest and every time I sat in them more of the stuffing disintegrated and landed on the floor. I also couldn’t resist putting some orange on it, as you can never have enough of the best colour in the world! So it’s starting to look better in my opinion. I’m reluctant to go for shiny as I now think the shabby look is “in”.

[John A. Ross]

shabby ciue is the way

What seats keith ?

[lm57krm@gmail.com]

Seats are honda civic sport seats. I got a bargain on eBay. Local guy had refitted his civic with all the bling from a type R as he couldn't afford the insurance on the R but he wanted people to think it was. Go figure but I got the new seats for a song!
