Thanks Duncan! I'm going to pop the front off that radio and see if I can use the dash as is and alter the frame of the radio as it's not that sophisticated!

I've managed to sort the underside of the wings and it's been a long arduous job especially the a pillar to wing that was excellently moulded tiger seal!

I had a break that day to watch the tour of Britain bike race that went past the end of our road

I had another look at the passenger wing top where it meets the a pillar, I think it's solid now and just needs a bit of dressing

Then back on with the under wings!

The welds have been tired! I've also applied kurust as a precaution.

And primed - there are a few touch ups needed.

It's a massive relief to be at this point as it's been a long slog!

During the evenings I've been doing some engine bay work, this is the centre support of the slam panel and I hacked it to get the electric fan to fit and it was flimsy! I've made a good and moulded it at the top to meet the original section - it's come out better than expected which is a shame as it'll never be seen!

I made my own set squares!

Now I'm onto seem sealing!!!

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
