80s furniture and axle tart-up

Bit more progress yesterday. Got the axle back in (cheers Dan!) and cleaned and painted it.







And then got on with cutting up this bit of 80s computer desk:



To keep the car looking right for the 60s, I've decided I want to hide as much of the electronics as much as possible - previously the ignition module and coil were attached to the side of the chassis in plain view. I will be adding ignition retard modules as well, so needed somewhere to put it all. So I'm making a removable shelf to sit above the gearbox in the footwell, and using the perforated steel from the computer desk because it will allow air to flow round the components, as well as being easy to attach bits to with nylon ties.
