Saturday, 28 July 2007 Back down to earth with a Bump! Cleaned a bit more up on the front, and then it was time for more mini tipping - and finally he was back down to earth with a bump and looking a little sad for himself around the shock mounts....(I blame a certain person for mentioning it last weekend!) So, now back on the belly, we can sort that shock mount out over the coming week, weather permitting and tomorrow will be putting the extended door panel on. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/cleanbelly.jpg) Back on the belly - and better for it! ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/backdown.jpg) Ouch - looks a bit sore *glum* ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/shockmount1.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/shockmount2.jpg)

Sunday, 29 July 2007 Extended Doorstep Today was putting the extended doorstep on, and fixing a few bits - had to do the bracing between the outer sill and the inner sill (unforunately I didn't get a picture - sorry). I'm happy to say that it all went without a hitch - must be a first! The shock mount looks a bit daunting - don't you think? The start of the day - 'Mind the Gap' ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/startofday.jpg) The day progressed... ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/eveningpt1.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/eveningpt2.jpg) The end of the day and no gap to be seen! ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/eveningpt3.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/endofday.jpg)

It's been AGES since I posted any pictures on here, so I thought I'd treat you to a few, and to let you know that Mutley is still alive and well, and will be hopefully getting a lovely coat of primer soon and then an even lovelier coat of beautiful orange paint! Yipee. Oh, and we've moved to a really nice unit (not so nice on the bank balance). It's super dooper! Engine Mock up: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/enginemock2.jpg) Found this today, not sure how we missed it, but it was easy to do considering we'd not fitted the scuttle.... ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/bonnethingeMedium.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/Mutley%20Mk2/bonnethinge1Medium.jpg) as usual, you can read stuff on the blog/website: www.lovemutley.co.uk ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)

Thanks ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It's good to be thorough instead of rushing through it and having to re-do things later on, even if he's not going to be 'concourse' he sure will be rust free - I can pretty much guarantee that!

Thought I'd drag this back up as I've finally got round to making up the light clusters again and I know you like the odd bits that go into builds ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/iceyuk/DSC00385Small.jpg) More updates on the blog (www.lovemutley.co.uk) ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Well it's been a long....long time since I last visited this thread (or Retro Rides as a whole if I'm honest) so I'll summarise.... It's still not finished ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) But things have moved on quite a long way. For starters we finished painting it a year or so after the last post here: ![](http://i.imgur.com/8qtHEeo.jpg) And then after a house move (and into it's own garage) it started to take shape: ![](http://i.imgur.com/WsNntOb.jpg) But after another lengthy break (and a revelation at 'Mini Action Day'), it all changed and we ditched the Vauxhall and went back to an 'A series': ![](http://i.imgur.com/w9jAX0U.jpg) There are a lot of bits I've skipped here but that's pretty much where we stand. Aim is (and theres a good chance it'll come off) to be ready for the next 'Mini Action Day', ideally to get on track but if not then just to make it there.
