Default Progress!

Really impressed to see the progress of others (especially those who have only recently got their bodies and are already well on the way!) so thought I'd post an update...

Lots of bits came together over the Summer - doors on, rear swing spring and lowering block fitted, dashboard finalised. Oh, and a change of chassis - partly because I wanted a bulkhead and the rigidity that it has brought to the body...and the opportunity to fit a 2 litre engine (although the thought of the extra horses slightly worries me!)

Pleased to get the instrument cluster sorted (it is turned ally under the protective plastic)





Front grille, indicators & badges sorted (I have the CAD drawing for the large oval grille badge if it's of any use ).



Bulkhead fitted...



Template made....



and now just a small gap to fill (thinking I might shorten the bonnet)...



and lastly, got my head around the rear storage area, for that impromptu picnic!



Still a mountain to climb but you guys are great motivators (& checking your progress keeps me motivated)
