Well done. Coincidentally I had a dream. It included seeing someone with a freshly white-painted N A. Though theirs had a certain boot badge.
And boost.

Bet you will sleep well after this huge milestone.
Now for the pics, after your well earned rest...

PS. Since you are into the collection of great mods, you might enjoy this interior. Unbelievable that such fine cars come up for sale in the UK but we don't see them over here. Not much, anyway.

Will your centres look this small?

Many bits here on my wish list and probably already in your shed...

or alternatively

if you were someone going for a clean/classic 60s look - or slightly less ricy.

But first, show us ya whitey!

PS. I am really liking the second interior, particularly the centre console bit. What do you think of it? Not for your lightness whiteness machine, I know.

Red interiors look awesome in my opinion, on the right colour of car. That second one looks awesome, has a HUGE parts list and it's selling for less than AUD$9k.

Alex, PM me when you would like me to bring mine over if you want to check again on mounting the RB front onto the front bumper.

If you see mine you will notice something interesting on the front. Requiring a respray! Some weird little bubbles, as if it's come into contact with steam. :(

Black windscreen surround looks Boss.

Astinagt has some NA flared rear guards (ruprecht's parts forum) if you are keen.

If the horn is wired and grounded correctly, the button should simply be clicked in. Nice work Alex looking great so far!
