That is beautiful. It is so clean and shiny.

Thanks Jay

I clean it regularly as here if you don't it gets a thick layer of desert dust fast

It's still a work in progress but it's also my daily driver . Next purchase is a header but the price is delaying that

THANKS !!! Mr Lucas was sent packing long ago

I used part of the Fiat wiring harness like the box and plugs to the speedo and tach and the rest is made from scrap or aftermarket . It's a fun little car and the Fiat gear makes it a BLAST TO DRIVE

the gasket needed to be higher at least 1/8"
i used a rat tail file and reamed all the holes

This one is British side drive . I have several British Ford Anglia and Thames cars , wagons and vans . The others are all US side drivers

It gives me laughs as the little car already gets loads of attention driving or sitting still , but I get to see the double take when they see I'm driving from the opposite side they are used too seeing . So first they are drinking in the car , then they finally notice where I'm sitting
