Looking good Jeff, i've always used AP paddle - first was a 6 paddle with a standard plate and the one in this engine is a full kit - my mate had an Alcon 6 paddle and that felt like a standard clutch

Looking Good mate.
Regarding clutch i had A.P 6 Paddle, if you want it to feel like a normal clutch, with no judder, make sure you get the flywheel skimmed. Will Drive lovely.

They've been put back on like they were originally, I supplied the plastic clips that push into the wings and stainless steel screws, and the painter put on the double sided tape.

Now the real work starts, how did you get on with the mouldings, are they a little rippled or is it the camera angle? i know my doors were a right bastard and overhung the door edge by a couple of mm and had to come off which wasn't easy

Chris a couple of the mouldings had been off before, i noticed when i went to view the car, they are slightly rippled but ill live with it, I got the painter to re-fit the mouldings and the kit as it was a job I didn't fancy doing. Ive now got the door glass, seals, locks and door handles back on hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so I can get more done
