Is got the 170 ci 2.8 slant six in it with a 3 speed column shift. She is hoping to get it to the NSRA show at Old Warden in August so we better get our fingers out and get it running right, its not even registered yet. All the welding was done on Friday and Saturday which was the rear inside corners and the drivers door step, we are going to make a start on the electrics on Thursday night which shouldn't take long so. It came with a spare engine and we need to swap the manifolds across and after that give it a good going over before the MOT then with a bit of luck she will be off to the DVLA for the registration I will get some more pics of it and keep this thread going. |

She knows how she wants it to look and it will get there in the end I'm sure of it and she has some good ideas for it. |

Last nights progress, the curtain material still hasn't arrived (Sorry Tracy) Almost a full engine and it even runs.  47 Year old wiring, all it needed was testing and a clean and everything works.  Somehow its face fell off.  Saturdays job for Micky.  Cleaned gear linkages (latex gloves were used)  Notice the lack of curtains, to be continued....  The magic stairs.  Drivers step reapir.  Ooooooooooooooooooooooo shiney.  The gun turret.  |

Well a little more work over the weekend and she even took it for a little spin. Gun Turret open.  In all its erect glory.  She might be cleaning the rust off but I bet its curtains she's thinking about.  Headlamp bowl holes repaired   Side door repair floor now ready for U-pol   |

The dirty bits. Engine mounts resembling puff pastry (they will be changed)  Manifold reunited with the rest of the engine and stupid flappy emissions thingy removed and holes blanked off.    Interior is now stripped ready for de greasing and spraying with U-Pol and the first parts are off to the powder coaters (unless Next have another sale on then they will be taken after that) |
