Thanks :D
Have pretty much decided on 10x6 Ultralights in silver, just need to sort the brakes out so they fit! Will be building up a front subframe out of the car then slotting it in, so I can keep it rolling for as long as possible. Got all my adjustable bottom arms and tie rods, and some hi-los. The slot it in with some nice new polybushes and to top it off a set of adjustable shocks.

Not a huge update, but here goes :thumbsup:
Got the fuel tank out of the car. Had no lines or sender, so thought it'd be a good idea to remove it, respray it nicely, make sure its all lovely jubbley inside and put a new sender in, before returning it to the car.
Found the original VIN and Commision number plates, on the dash, covered in blue paint >_<. It had a new front end you see, so they were taken off for that, put on the dash and sprayed over! So had to carefully pick the blue paint off :).
Got some nice Cobra Classics in black with a blue piping, that match the car perfectly :) Swapped what was left of my GT for them with my brother :)
have a couple of questions for people who are bored enough to read this post >_<...
Anyone know if the tank sender is the same as a standard Mini fuel tank one?
And anyone know where to get a pickup rear window from? Do Autoglass and people like that do them?
Thanks
