Nice
Oh and congratulations, Now to go and enjoy it bud

Update: VIC was done late in December so filled out the V62 and apparently the V5 can take up to 6 weeks to turn up So still waiting for that as without it, it can't be taxed. A few jobs done. Got a storage box made up for the back, aux fuse box and centre console plate fitted and wires run. Just waiting for 12V socket and saving up for a stereo. Bought a CB and antenna. Also, jate rings from christmas fitted. I'll get a pic of the CB tomorrow.

As promised, here is the CB.

Last weekends progress. Got the fuse box wiring sorted and board for storage box fitted with speakers which will get wired up with some 6x9's when I get a head unit. V5 also came this week but won't be March until I get insured

Great to see the finished article and all the progress since I first dropped in to this thread a while back. Well done on all your hard work and passing your test :clap2: Happy motoring matey.

P.S. Mine'll be down on a trailer in a bit for your first commercial job :lol:

We'll done mate!
Very inspirational.

I'll be off to uni in September so won't even have time to work on my own even though I'm still on the lookout for the next project

Just read your rebuild from start to finish. That is a smart looking ninety, well done mate. You deserve some magazine space with that. All the best.

Few bits done, got towbar electrics sorted, LED strip lights fitted in the back and a pair of 6x9's fitted behind the seats in custom boxes bolted to the tub bulkhead. Also completed my pass plus so one step closer to getting insurance

Absolutely brilliant, so good to see this rebuild, well done.

So, finally got insurance yesterday so took the car for a spin this afternoon. Also got my raptor dash and cubby box fitted.

So now all of you have seen the whole rebuild. How much do you think it would all be worth? Not looking to sell, just after a valuation of it from the people that have seen it rebuilt.

Not much to report other than at high speeds (55+) I get violent shaking through the steering. Decided to take a look at the props and the front has a large amount of play in the slider joint splines. Looks like I'll be needing a new one, just need to decide what brand.

Stereo is also coming this week so hope to get that fitted in between revision sessions.

Still haven't got a picture of the radio, but anyway. Prop has been changed but still getting wobble at high speed. Will be getting tyres balanced and tracking done once the exams are done.

Ordered a Boomslang Headlight Loom which I will be fitting after my exams along with some new Crystal Headlights and new bowls.

Anyway, in the meantime, I've been able to use the car as it should be.

I've been doing a bit more laning recently. Here's some of the footage filmed using a GoPro hero 4.

Lovely black 90 there...wonder who owns that?

Finished A levels now so now its on to Uni. Finally ordered my new headlights and fitted them with the new headlight loom from paddocks. Would recommend it to anyone still using sealed beams and standard wiring; makes such a difference. Here's a few pictures and a link to a video showing the new lights.

Took the car out on a laning trip with a friend last weekend and did Alton lanes on saturday and salisbury plain on sunday.

I had to paint it in cellulose so I went with RAL 5011
