Molleur – Cheers.

The way I look at it, if I can keep making small improvements each time, they will all add up overall.

I just need to remember that this car was never going to stand up to a very close (critical) inspection.

As even just looking at options for locating the bonnet locks reminded me of various mis-matches.
( Cockpit sides, wind deflector lip, aero humps, etc. )

The good news is that I am not actually looking for an invite to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Instead, my ambition is simply to build a car that would not look out of place on the grid at Goodwood.

So provided I get the ‘Big Picture’ right, I should stop worrying about every little detail not being 100% perfect.

John Noakes – RIP
I’ve often talked about Blue Peter’s influence on me during this build.

And I was reminded of it again yesterday, as I was cutting up a cereal box to make formers for my bonnet lip repairs.

So I want to include a photo of the John in his prime, which takes me back to my childhood.

Not sure if I will be working on the car today, so until next time, take care, Paul.
