Default I've been proper poorly

Hi folks, not been here much for the last couple of weeks thanks to some stomach bug type thing that has kept me away from the garage. Starting to feel better so have done some more to the car, namely finished the inlet manifold, made the rear panel, done the infill panels, fitted the mirrors and gear lever gaiter and made a cardboard template for the bonnet. Don't know if I am going to make the bonnet or not, I don't know how to make one with a bulge in it so am looking in to alternatives. Not put much thought in to it in the last couple of weeks but hope to get back to it now. Update with photos on my website - www.deepfolly.co.uk - only part 6 has been updated.
Enoch.

Better now, though, that's good. No curries for the time being then?

That's a good website you've got there.

Thanks chaps, a bit better now but still feel tired all the time.
Andy, I put my mirrors very high up so they are over the rear wing height. I put one screw in first and tilted the mirror as far as it would go clockwise when viewed from the top. I then turned the whole mirror so I could see myself in it. I figured that was as far as it would ever need to be adjusted that way. I then double checked that it would go further in the other direction than I would need and fitted the second screw. I hope that makes some sort of sense? Basically I made sure it would adjust further either way than I would ever need.

Mr H, this must be the longest period without a curry in the last 20 years!! We usually have 2 a week but neither of us could face one just at the moment. Even been off the beer.

Thanks for your comments on the website, I hope you find it entertaining.
Enoch
