Got my rallye gauges restored by auto instruments, they did a great job.  Speedo rebuild, modern tach internals, 4 gauges calibrated, quartz conversion, bead blasted and silk screened.  Basically all new :-)

And thanks to Alan , new rallye gauge wood grain bezel from performance car graphics. I sent the one I ordered from year one back, junk. (Fit, colour off)

Amazing product.

And the dash build and install.  Earlier on in my thread I did a dash crack repair, but just wasn't satisfied.  Not wanting to put the money out for a just dashes rebuild at this point, I tried two different types of dash caps until I landed on one that I'm reasonably happy with, it's made by accuform.  It will get me by for a few years.

Had all my suspension components blasted and brought them home to be epoxy primed and painted.  The car is now sitting on the front suspension and the back is just being painted.  Will post pics up soon.

Thanks Alan, car won't make it this year - so close.  But I will be there, looking for a few parts and hopefully meeting you and others at the beer tent.  Cheers

P.s. Thanks to the help of a few people on here, wiring on the car is all working, even my wipers, that will never get used...
