The Tango Bathtub is back on the road!!!

[Hobzy]

For those that know me/the car from south coast runs:

Finally got the car back on the road after the spin that damaged the rear bodywork. See here:

Took a fair bit of help from various people as I am a real beginner with it all, but took the opportunity to sort out the interior and some rust on the chassis etc. Think the engine needs an oil service but other than that all seems fine and dandy , so I though I'd post some pics as I'm so pleased with meself

New Dash and tunnel cover:



New rear end (ooer):



New firewall and boxed in electrics. (over the original Ally plate).




New 5" lamps and teeny indicators to replace "the hoooge" nine inch jobbies and caterham indicators that were on there.



Close up of the switchgear:




All lit up:



Now my daughter can come on a run too!:



Really pleased with how its turned out for a first go, learnt loads (especially about wiring ). Just got to finish the interior of the boot and decide on how to trim the edges of the cockpit, now I don't have any interior side panels... I have abs cut to fit as new panels but actually quite like it without them on.

Criticism welcome. :P

Good to see it back up and running Tony. Still on for Sunday?

Are you coming on the evening hoon?

[minimatt1967]

good to hear! Nice touch with the seat, it's important to let the children share the pleasure/terror

Good effort mate, loving the new look.

[AndWhyNot]

Nice work, glad it's all back together. Those dash lights would look spot on in one of my driving shots, we'll have to hook that up sometime.

[Hobzy]

That would be great! I'll have to finish it all now!

Cheers for the thoughts people. Still a bit more work to do but it feels much more like my own car now.
