You do love the colour black....even you mail box is black. ;) Good looking playset. I built a permanent one at our old house.....6 months before my wife decided we should move. Your car is looking very good. I'm hoping to get to mine next year.....this year is a write off with all my time being drained away on more pressing issues.

I got a flyer in the mail the other day.......this company specializes in redoing garages....new flooring and ultra heavy duty cabinets. I suspect the price is more than I'm willing to pay as I could do the cabinets myself........but they do have some interesting photos and videos on their website which might give you a few ideas for garage de-cluttering. I have been seriously pondering installing cabinets in ym garage to keep things tidy. Here's the linka dn I will give the usual disclaimer.....I have no interest in this company etc. http://www.premiergarage.com btw....website has sound.

Hey.....I just noticed you installed the new windshield as well!!! Where do you find the time? I'm trapped doing endless house repairs.

Excellent progress. the hood supports are an excellent way to go and those new turn signal lights are the ticket. Mine arrived the day after your and they are beautiful.......I'm acquiring quite the collection of parts for my car when I restore it.

Oh my....you're such a brute!!! 8)

Anyone in the UK want to buy them for me and ship them cheaper, or I'll pick em up when I'm in the UK in December? :) But if you install them you car won't be concours original. ;)

You, on the other hand, get to drive your car rather than work on it...which I envy! My car still needs a new master brake cylinder etc before it can be inspected to complete the importation process and be legal in Canada (I imported it from the US)...so for now I can't insure it. The importation inspection is very much like an MOT for our UK friends and is a one time only inspection, but I do know my car would fail in it's current state. So I can't drive my GT6.....that leaves me stuck driving my 928GT. It would be fun to bomb about in the GT6.

This thread drives me nuts......I wish I had time to work on my car. I do envy you. Thanks for the update.

I was jsut having a brain-fade and couldn't remember what JDM meant. ......I guess being on a Triumph forum did little to jog my memory.

Ahhh......the jdm (Japanese Domestic Market ) comment had me confused. :)

I'm actually in the market for a set myself.....I lost an auction on e-bay for the set in the photo......but according to one of the pros here....it seems you can buy them new fairly cheaply here. http://www.jagspares.co.uk/Abingdon/partdetail.asp?partno=BHA4966

The other side and hood are still primer and have more sanding to do on them... Very nice.....but those front marker lights just won't do.... ;) Come on....you know you want to....

Now it's starting to take shape. The paint scheme looks like some sort of military camo from WW2.

So you're not going with Manly Magenta? ;D
