Just a bit of bling left to do and I am ready for the season. A short video of the mods so far, TAV brace, strengthened engine mount, CDI ignition, steering rack, telescopic steering column, Headlights, tachometer, steering wheel strung, decals and numbers and a couple of other little bits. Just spinners and radiator cap to do (Shout out to Noel - Moogie for his work and patience on this one, a top fellow!)
Some may notice the change in the exhaust note now I have the CDI running. I did.

Snow at ours this morning but strong sunshine has warmed my garage enough to spray, Moogie's spinners sand up well!

Work on the radiator cap, not convinced on the colour but that might change yet. Thanks again to Noel for his design 😁 ... Newbie Nick, check your PMs for the headlight image 👍

Not content with a pretty face, I thought I would add a voice too! A Hornet Mini with remote wire control. Not as period as a klaxon but the current draw on a klaxon is too much for the puny battery I have in.

The spinners look fantastic, and the paint really finishes them off nicely.

Loving those lights, particularly the illuminated one.

Great job, I sealed mine with electricians tape and car body double sided green badge tape. I think if I did them again, I would go for 19mm self amalgamating ethylene tape... https://www.amazon.co.uk/GTSE-Self-Amalgamating-Waterproof-Rubber-Repair/dp/B0859JWPTH/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=Self+Amalgamating+Tape&qid=1679237812&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&smid=A82TWSVY98E9Y
