I spent a few hours today getting to know the Gordini. Took it for a wheel alignment in the morning, a quick lap of Mount Panorama (at 60kph), got another key cut, a price to have the front seats done and booked it in for an engine tune and a few other bits that still need to be done. In all I travelled about 25km around Bathurst, got a few funny looks and some admirers when it was parked.

Parked at the top of the mountain.

Finally Finished!

The pain is over, I have finally completed the G!

The dash is now complete with all instruments working. I had to lower the steering column by 6mm to allow the crash roll to fit on the instrument side.

The cars first outing should be the All French Car Day at Silverwater on 17 July 2016. 

Hopefully some of the previous owners will be there to be reunited.

 Complete dash with working instruments.

 Good to see the Tacho finally working.

The light at the end of the tunnel has finally been switched on.

Why must everything take so long?

I sent my Gauges off to an instrument repair company in Victoria 2 months ago and still I have not got them back. I did manage to speak to them about 4 weeks ago but they haven't return calls or emails.
So bloody frustrating.

Update.
Finally made contact. The gauges were promised to be finished last Friday as they were on the bench being done now!? A week later and still nothing.

Update#2.
I finally got my gauges back. The Tacho is now working as is the temperature gauge however even with written and phone instructions they still got the temp gauge wrong, putting the working gauge into the wrong body. I had to swap it all when I got them home. Finally able to complete the dash.
