not updated this in a week or two and not really done much either just been spending lots, not so good this close to chrimbo but hey ho need to keep up with it or it will easily slip away from me. So got out today and took some pics of my recent buyings





so a trip to minispares saw me come back with a boot floor repair a rear valance battery box and one side of valance closure i can make up the other side. An order from smiffys bits and i got lots more stainles fastners and goodies including a pair of top arm plates in stainless and rear subby washers again in stainless so ive not pretty much got what i need to build up the subbys.

i also bought and picked up from pinhead on hear exactly what i need the rear half of a heritage inner wing/flitch, half a pannel for half the price and i am well happy saves me buying the full panel and trying to get rid of the other half thankyou pinhead!!!

as i was out in the garage i didnt feel like doing anything major so fixed one of my hinges as the studs snapped off so i ground the rest off flat drilled out the old studs and tapped the holes for 5/16 which is twice the size of the standard ones so hope they wont ever snap again. i then cut the heads off two bolts and screwed them into the fresh holes



i then welded the back of the studs that i had screwed in slightly proud and ground them off a little bit for neatness



and finished off with a couple of stainless nyloc nuts job done



thats it for now not much but as always far too many pics and writting for such a little progress, i do like a waffle

Oh and working in a garage does not always mean your car will stay dry as my roof leaks and i need to cover the car
