Good question haven't got to the wiring stage

[exo2015]

Have decided to put some graphics down the sides, spotted on another post

[exo2015]

Windscreen fitted, 4 washers to keep it away from the body work

[exo2015]

Interior basically finished, got to wire up the gages and starter button, had fun with the horn but after a few hours of no luck, Tom came to the rescue and fixed it in under a minute, thanks again Tom.

Still not happy with the brakes, have bleed them twice and no bubbles left in the line, original calipers hard pedal but poor braking so on the hunt I go.

[exo2015]

Waiting on a connector from the UK which will allow me to install a new filler cap in the top of the tank, so I can fill the tank
Had great fun trying to get the fuel filler to work have gone with the original filler for now will sort after compliance

[exo2015]

Trial fitted tank cover, also repainted the calipers in a blue closer to the car





Going to repaint the centre's silver to go with the wheel spacers

[exo2015]

List of jobs slowly reducing, speedo cable, exhaust, wheel alignment, then certifying, earliest date is the 22nd of January so not able to get on the road yet.

Which connector have you got coming from the UK? I've just been playing with my fuel filler this arvo and its interesting to try and bend everything on the right angle and still allow me to fill a fuel tank!

I might use those decals as a template for mine if that is okay. Although mine will be in red!

You are more than welcome to copy the graphics
I am using the following flexible hose

And have brought the following fitting for the smaller pipe

This allows you to use a filler on the top of the tank, I got the idea from someone else's build picture below, wasn't keen on using the original out the side of the tank.


Super cheap sells sealants suitable for use with petrol, going to give it a try

Really like your color combo.. graphics set off the car.. For your brakes looks like the rotors need a surface cut to clean up..
Run the pads over a piece of flat sand paper to clean them.. Check all your caliper slide pin for being clean and lubed. Clean out the housing they go into for old grease. don't over lube. Readjust the screws in rear calipers with E brake off.. Are all bleed ports on upper side of calipers. See you like blue cars..

Liking the look of this one, have you any pictures of how you mounted the rear lights?

Thanks Dave

Finally managed to get the brakes working faulty hose from brake booster

[exo2015]

Car all loaded up ready for wheel alignment and exhaust fitting, took some time to get it on due to how low the Excel is, thanks again Tom for your help

[exo2015]

All ready for the wheel alignment, last adjustment of ride height prior to alignment
