Ell Diablo - Hydraulic Clutch In
So made good progress today. Got the wing off, finished undersealing the front arch:

After

Fitted a new door seal rubber as well, so hopefully will not have any more puddles in the footwell Smile

Made a start on painting up the Baker gear linkages, and started stripping the '6 manifold ready for painting. Its all going this colour (not my parts below)

So go the bodywork on this fully PH3 converted now, with every panel in diablo. The wrapping is going on the back burner until I can do the whole car at once. Looks gash in multi colour.

The rear bumper and new 'zorst fit a lot better than before. The bumper has a few scuffs so will be getting re-sprayed at some point. Starting to get the love back for this car now Smile

I took it off as I was fed up of driving everywhere in a multi colours car and people looking at me like i couldn't afford to fix a crash damaged car properly. I will wrap it one day Smile

So bit of a boring update:

When i got the replacement tailgate, whoever removed it decided it would be wise to chop the loom, so instead of trying to thread a new one in, I'm gonna run a +'ve and -'ve to the heated screen. I have no wiper so thats no issue. And for the rear brake light, i thought I'd try something different. Hopefully people would see it a bit better:

A bent ally bar with some mounting holes drilled.

And some strip LED's

Different, hope they'll be bright enough, i did something similar on my 1.4, they were dismally dull in the daylight. They were alright at night though. Wink

I'll still have the two brake lights in the rear clusters, this is just for the high level.

But yes, i hope they are too lol

Fair point, i also still had the original high level light in place. I just had some red LED strips going spare, so wired them in with the brakes! lol

Its up to you what you say dude lol

TBH I'm not a massive fan of the black bonnet. I need to do something with the roof to hide the lacquer peel though Sad so may have to be doing that the same

Some people get up set with other peoples views Sad

Black roof and bonnet like you say might be a winner as it will break up the diablo or just black roof and diablo bonnet?

The idea of a rain light is it's low down, below the level of the majority of the spray, opposed to where the fog light is.

But... As I said...
