Great work so far, the cp doesn't look like the original at all

Brilliant, I was bidding against you on this, the next best thing is seeing it being lovingly restored.

The Pedal to the Metal:
Here`s the bottom of the foot pedal with the wood taken off,I repainted it but I tried to
retain the original serial numbers as best I could:
Will post some more foot pedal pics when I find them -The wood under this bit took a few days to dry out.

So after all my efforts , I thought I would take a pre look of what the various bits looked like together,
I had installed wheels to make it easy to shift and rotate,Im getting old now and I`ve had a few near death experiences trying to access difficult corners etc..
Repainted the kick plate and filled in alot of the dodgy edges..decided on Green T-Moulding as my missus insisted!

I played this too ..on a home console.lespotts said:I loved this game on the Atari 2600, looking forward to seeing it back to it former glory
The arcade impression the game left on me was quite strong.
I had a bit of a buzz the other week,I could remember a game that I had played when I was maybye 4-5 years old which inspired me and my brother to go home and make a game from a cardboard box and a roll of wallpaper.
Lo and behold the game I had thought was a one off came up on ebay a week or so ago.
Its a driving game ,with a real toy car {on a rod} and a vinyl road scrolled behind it.
I got a couple of photos of it Brighton Run or something,triggered so many memories.
One day -I`ll get hold of one and who knows what memories that will trigger!!??
The Irony is I hate driving in real life

Slight Update..
The Night driver is all pretty but still not working,My soldering skills have improved alot.
My camera is broken so it will be a short interlude before I can show you how far Iv`e got with this project.
I`m working on a dedicated Bombjack at my mums at the same time ,my Dad died in October and throwing myself into projects has helped alot.
New camera will get me moving again
