Keep up the great work.

How many months of hard work do you reckon are left?

Hahaaa thanks!
And I haven't really set a date, I've aimed to be ready for next summer at the latest, just because that's when I'll actually use it, in the sun

Thanks very much

Big update coming soon!
But before that, a big hand to our resident brainbox Nick T who after a relatively short conversation sorted my many woes and tears! Many beers coming your/his way at the next meet!

Well! I didn't realise it was that long since I posted, time sure does fly when you're pulling your hair and crying
A lot has happened but also not a lot has happened since I last posted if you get me. I'll just upload a load of pics


Finished off the suspension or so I thought, I'll get to that



Had the gearbox rebuilt, made it look pwitty then whipped it in



Had the wheels refurbed then dropped her to the ground







Redone the front end, electrics etc




New head gaskets, timing and clutch

Will upload the rest in a few mins

A little bit of homework



Painted the engine bay




Bit of a hairy moment but after much rocking and jiggling the marriage happened




Building the engine up bit by bit

Then got to that fun point of wondering WTF won't it start.............only one man could help in a time of such need, some say..... he like 'wabbits'


It's none other than Nick T guys n gals! 'applause' light comes on
Turned out to be the small tachometer wire the comes off the distributor! Luckily had a spare from that other engine!
Once that was fixed she spurred into life! With no exhaust sooo I didn't want to run her for long.






After that I've just been fannying around do other bits, windscreen, A pillars, drive shafts, coolant and a new radio ooooo and whipped the dash pad in just because.
That's pretty much up to date, just searching around atm for someone cheap to fit my new windscreen. Hope you like it all so far

Not sure why that pic has appeared at the end :O oh well

Good work mate

Amazing progress Tom, even since I last saw the car a few months back!

A lot of blood, sweat, tears and late nights, but your efforts are more than showing for it! Can't wait to see the finished car!

Alex will be wanting to do his again now!

All the best

Amazing job done on the car
