AshJ Cordite Build
As a wedding present some 9 years ago my wife bought me a '71 1300 MkIV spitfire. It had already had some renovation carried out but needed a lot more; the last owner seemed to have painted the bodytub and bonnet with a 3" paint brush.
Unfortunately dispite good intention it has stayed in the shed since the day I got it. A couple of years ago I got hold of a second chassis, a very tidy US spec with no rust. The idea was to prep the second chassis then start transfering the parts from one to the other. The plan seemed sound as I knew that if I just stripped everything off the original chassis and boxed it up then the likelyhood was that is where it would stay.
The chassis now just sits in the shed beside the Spitfire but it seems fate was just telling me to hold off until Gary had come up with the Cordite :-)
