Last (hopefully!) of the mechanical work being sorted within next couple of weekends - I'm having the front suspension parts machined to take poly bushes as I couldn't get original size parts. Then I'm hoping to MOT it, drive it a bit to sort out teething problems and then tidy the body up before a respray in standard Mustard Yellow with matt black steels as I can't find alloys to match front and rear.
