I've got a couple of spare reversing light switches of that type - the plastic one that includes extra connections (for the economy meter I think) ... hopefully one of them will work, or I'll pull them apart and see if I can find out what's not making contact the way it should.

So... I bought this GL on ebay... originally went to see it, thinking of buying it for bits. It was far too good for that though, so I bought it anyway. £720 later and it's mine. Two owners, 60k miles, with every tax disc and MOT cert that it's had. The previous owner was an elderly lady who gave up...

So... a bit of a quick progress update: After mucho work sanding and prepping, with a tiny bit of panel beating and a few skims of filler - especially where I'd previously welded up the rear arches, the car was ready for paint. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/mikehorsb/ProjectTimewarp/IMG_408...

Never touched the sunroof yet Ant.

I'm currently sat outside the workshop drinking tea, covered in sanding dust.

Pics to follow later...

Body kit is now off, and starting prep for paint. Pics to follow when I get back from a weekend away.

Looks good - any plans for it, or are you just going to use and enjoy it?

Time to revive this thread! With the sale of the Black ABF'd Scala, it's time to recommission the GTX as the backup daily and usable classic. I pulled it out from under the tarpaulin where it's been for 2 years, re-fitted the fuel feed pipe I'd borrowed for another car, and stuck a battery on it. I ...

Careful fella - that's starting to look like detailing

Car's looking good though!

I'll possibly be there on Friday night. Will confirm this week.

Should be there on the Saturday. Not in this one, but in the black ABF Scala.

Made a lot more progress since the last update... Finished the welding, add a thin smear of filler on the rear arch, smooth and red oxide paint http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/mikehorsb/Rocco/IMG_3863_zpsa55f7a89.jpg And the front mount http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/mikehorsb/Rocco/I...

More progress tonight! Front mount repair welded into place. Not my neatest welding ever - blew a couple of holes and had to fill in. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/mikehorsb/Rocco/30B299AF-24AF-43F1-9ABB-0CEF11B84A8C_zpscgucb6tk.jpg After a tickle up with the grinder it starts to look a lot...

Rear Arch - Cleco pin fasteners to pull the two panels together. Need a 3/8" hole but easily welded up after. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/mikehorsb/Rocco/IMG_3845_zps6c244d6b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/mikehorsb/Rocco/IMG_3844_zpsd0dcb7dd.jpg My joggler tool also has ...

Want to put me in touch so I can try to join in?

Feel free to PM iF you're not sure about making it public.

Well, I had another hour on it this evening... it would have been 2 hours but I distracted myself by helping a rallyist mate fit a fibreglass bonnet on his Hillman Avenger - proper old school! Anyway... After a bit of trimming and tweaking, and going round the edge with the joggler, I now have the a...
