Also spent some time painting the grille and the cam cover - ready for some orange paint in the lettering and some lacquer.
Will hang the doors within the next few days and line and weld 'A' panels on.

LED Clusters - Update
Just wanted to share with you all my LED clusters - thought a few of you might be interested.
41 U/B LEDs in each rear indicator cluster.
35 U/B LEDs in each brake cluster.
24 U/B LEDs in each reverse cluster.
41 U/B LEDs in each front indicator cluster.
18 U/B LEDs in each side light.
4 U/B LEDs in each side repeater.
In total 326 LEDs just for lights - and number plate illumination and interior light still to be done.

Final Push
We're on the final push towards the spraying stage! I hate to admit it, but I am enjoying it more than usual, maybe it's the excitement of seeing it all in one colour!
Have been rather lazy on the update side of things recently so have a few things to update you all on.
Front indicators/Side lights
Got them done and looking really good - very pleased with the results, even more pleased that I know I'm going to be the only one with them!!! Made rear plates for them instead of using standard ones - which seem few and far between, and go for stupid money.
Head
Have painted the head parts - should be ready to put together in the next few weeks!
Rear Beam
Just come back from shot blasting - needs a top coat and it'll be ready to mock up.
Shell
Completed shultz underneath and have made good progress on the prep on the body - should only be another weekend or so before it's finished.
Coilovers
Have talked to GAZ and you can buy the offset tops of the coilovers separately, which solves the problem of having to cut and adjust the rear shock mounts - extremely pleased with that bit of news!

Sticky Shultz
Finally it's shultz.
Is it time to open that bottle of champagne yet?
(I've vowed to save it until he's passed his MOT)

Alarming
Never fear, it's only a clifford!
Another salvaged part from another car, works perfectly and will be put into the loom nice and easy.
