I didn't realise the last update was April, since then I have been working out what is needed to get the carbs to fit the head, the carb spacings is wider than the ports so making them fit the head using straight runners won't work so it'll need more work to do it but I have a guy on that!

I did give them a strip clean and inspect and they seem ok

And whilst all that is going on I have started to seam seal the underside, I have to do the rear axle/suspension areas but to do that I need to drop the back axle which is what's holding me back as she maybe moving to a unit much closer to me where we will start the engine fitting

Then I got bored and thought I would try to rub the panels down and see what dings and things needed to be sorted and filled etc, I've started at the back and I'm working my way forward including the inside so I can get that red oxided and seam sealed too

I think I can get the boot floor finished in a few hours and the rear seat too if I have enough tea!

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
