What paint have you used to do the diff?

Plain old 'Hammerite Smooth' gave everything a brush over first & quite pleased with how it looks


looks great, like new ;)


It's the first 'real' chance I've had to take a 'good look under the 'old gal', not bad for a 10 year old.
The underside is remarkably tidy & quite rust free.






I have a replacement box ready for when the rust makes it all the way through ............... :whistle:

That's one thing I need to figure out... I was thing of Angle (L shaped steel to you non fabricators!) stuck to roof with sealant and the roof console bolted to that as long as you don't got OTT it should hold...

As for the thermometer I am going for the one as pictured above (Tadpoles post) it seams accurate enough and will replace my Fast & Furious style volt meter as it comes with a built in one with audible alarm

And hang on two mins I will through a few up I have been looking at

-EDIT-

Here you go

I have to admit I don't worry about how warm I am or the car's interior but how cold it is outside always gets my attention. :laugh: :laugh:
