The first thing you need is Andyboys book :



Tells you all the parts you need and how to do it - along with a lot of other useful stuff :D

From memory you need the display unit, indicator stalk, gong, temp sensor and loom - there is probably other stuff as well.

It's more time consuming than anything, probably a couple of hours work :)

Bronze one failed its final MOT a couple of weeks ago with corrosion issues so I'm in the process of breaking it - Touring is my new project but I'm having to resist the temptation to start work/spend money on it until the bronze shell has gone and I can get the touring into my garage :D

There's pics threads on both cars in the pics section 8)
