Great progress Tony. The convertible rear needs a bit of more time with panel alignment than the hardtop just give me a call if you need any more pointers.

Really can't figure what the pic is. Is it your house boiler??
Sorry, too much rum, and more photos have appeared!

I gave up Bacardi about 15 years ago after drinking 1.5 litres in one evenings foolishness!

I have a glass or red wine in my hand, keeps me sane. As does the build.

seanick · #89 23rd November 2012, 22:08

Funnily enough, I was given a bottle of Bacardi oakheart! Its a bit sweet but itscheaper than heating the workshop! Prefer organs spiced, if anyines lustnin!

tonyt · #90 23rd November 2012, 22:14

Spiced organs? this is why I avoid spirits.

Looking great Tony - Have you chosen what colour to paint it.
If Chris had these before i started my build i would have definitley built a car like yours - probably with the aston style front.

If you haven't seen my Roadster thread next door in the Sammio forum it might be worth a look.

Rain stops play, although its now stopped raining its too late to work.

tonyt · #93 25th November 2012, 17:30

Rear arches flared out no cutting required.

tonyt · #94 25th November 2012, 17:31

T' other side

tonyt · #95 25th November 2012, 17:33

No rust found, covered in underseal anyway, black goo day

seanick · #96 25th November 2012, 19:51

Good progress. Nice flares!
Interesting you mention undersell. My rear arches are undersealed, apart from the outer 3" !!

Thats how it was from new. No wonder they rust on the arches! Not much to stop water getting past the flanges and spot welds. They may not all be the same mind!

tonyt · #97 25th November 2012, 20:02

2nd dry fit of the rear

tonyt · #98 25th November 2012, 20:07

Seanick, don't think I could go any wider than its is

Tribute Automotive · #99 25th November 2012, 21:04

Any ideas about exhaust/s yet Tony?

tonyt · #**100** 25th November 2012, 21:44

For now a 48mm curved stainlessteel extention pipe from ebay. Have to see what will fit under the kit or just get Longlife to design and fit a system.
