here you go..
I managed to get the engine started again and finally opened the garage doors to get a little drive.
It is good to sit behind the wheel and move, even if it is only a few feet.
Especially good on a sunny day.
The photos highlight that the roll hoops spoil the look of the car.
However they do enable me to put a temp hard cover between them and the screen to keep the cats out!
Lots of hard work for nothing, unless I take it for a track day.
At least they are easily removed with 4 bolts.
When the car body is trapped in an enclosed space, you miss areas that are still outstanding.
Glassing the body cut at the bottom or the doors is now no1 on my list.
The switches from the console are now in the dash, Lights, Wipers/Washer, Heater fan and Heated rear window.
The glove box even latches and locks!
Turning the car around gives also gives me access to correct the wheel arch misalignment.
Back to the garage.
If I could just acquire the headlight covers from a 718.
Almost there, I need to get a matching set of wheel and good tyres for the MOT.
Can't wait for the drive to the garage.
