Got me a bucket 'o clips.

Replaced all the clips in the top section of the door trims. Replaced some of the sockets in the door too

Nearly all together. Need to buy fuel so I can turn the car around and do the other door :roll:

Door trims all done, scuff panels done, headliner back in. Need a solution to rooted mirror controls or I just fill them up with glue!

And the obligatory advertising sticker

As I holed my radiator overflow bottle I had to get a replacement (Thanks Pete) Anyway, while it's apart I'll show you how and where I mounted it behind the nose panel.

Basically, aluminium bracket, cut, fold, drill and test fit a few times. I did this originally with the nose panel off the car, made life a lot easier.

Top of the bracket slips under the nose panel and locks it all in place.

Looks good Al.. Just a thought.... could you sketch a plan to post up for others who may want to make one?

Aargh...

I'll see what I can do, sketch it up and put some dimensions on it. Like I said, takes a little trial and error to fit it up.

Or you can buy a factory intercooled set up fairly cheaply from either the US or Japan.
Bolts straight in factory location with threaded holes already there...

Finally got the front spoiler on. On and off more times than a brides nightie.

I can't take it off the ramps yet though cos no-one is home and I don't know if it will hit or not :?

Couple of brackets and bits to nail it all together

Also as I plan to hopefully get the car on a track someday, it needs to have an extra bonnet restraint. So I made a bracket and fitted it up.

Undo nuts from the bottom of the bonnet vent

Attach seatbelt. The seatbelt is from the centre back of a Gemini!!

It runs down in front of the radiator support panel

The other half of the seatbelt is bolted to the tow hook through an existing hole.

Are you saying that to be able to drive your car on a race track you need another restraint for the bonnet so it don't fly open?

I might have a spare mirror control pannel if you still need one. Ive got a few different types I think

Pretty much.

Point 12 in the document here is a pretty standard clause.

That's a great idea on the secondary latch bracket, out of interest will the bolts holding on it be enough to hold on it it?
