Transaxle 5th gear modification

As I am Building a GT40 Cruiser (Not a Bruiser) I have changed the 5th gear ratio to use as an overdrive.

She's in the paint shop!

After 4 weeks of fairing on the body at my leisurely pace the body is now at Car creations in Thornlands with Graham Carr to apply the paint this will be a 6 -8 week process with lots of drying time between the coats,

The colour will be Orancio ashtar a Lamborghini pearl-esent Orange with stripes yet to be decided. She is due out of the paint shop at the end of February. whilst the car is in the paint shop I am detailing the motor & transmission ready for installations and final wiring and assembly.

I am hoping to be on the road by June but the one last major obstical to be addressed is upholstery and that may take a month. So the project is still a journey not a destination but the end is nearly in sight.
