Default Progress

The end of another month, only one more month to go until Easter.

This is the first car I built, an Austin Seven special when I was about 14, although I had worked on my fathers Alvis's before that.



Made mainly from wood I used an Alvis instrument panel which I made a new dashboard for decorated with brass nails.

Here is the current bar chart as of last night...



For comparison, The progress chart at the end of January...



And at the end of December...



As you can see significant progress in two months. I am confident it will be ready for MOT soon after Easter, baring accidents or unforeseen. Starting the engine yesterday was a big milestone, today I am struck down with a tummy bug, been sick twice but feeling a little better now. I had hoped to be getting on with the engine sides and bonnet today, but not. Michael is tidying up the garage so I can spend next week looking for 'stuff'! LOL
