Thanks all for your kind comments and input,

Yeah I know I'm fortunate regarding space and facilities but it's a pain getting the car out-putting it away each time. The best time to work on it is at the weekends (when missus lets me):D
The photos are a couple of weeks old (except cam belt and water pump) as I'm saving progress photos for this weekend..... Actually got a bit more done than I've posted.
I'm at the point where you just need to keep buying stuff just to keep going if that makes sense (not expensive parts just paint, hoses, gaskets, clips etc.....)
Well hopefully should have some decent photos to show you by the weekend if all goes well...:)

Bye for now

Assembly
 
Hi all,
Well at last I can start bolting parts in... Spent some time on the engine recently adding new parts and cleaning it up and it's come out OK I think.
I also got both side panels cut and bent apart from the rear end where it needs trimming.
Got some of the hard fuel and brake lines in yesterday and I'm hoping my flexible fuel lines turn up tomorrow with clips. If your'e out there Voucht going to place an order with you soon for flexi brake pipes.
Bottom floors are painted up ready to fit, pedal box all done and ready to go in and steering column ready to bolt in, so I'm hoping to have some good progress this week.
Still got to modify rear top wishbones yet but it's on my list.
Iv'e dropped the engine in just to sort out fuel connections and check clearance for all the parts and will be taking it out later this week. Ok lets be honest I just wanted to put it in so it looked more like a car...LOL

One issue, it looks too good. Your putting the rest of us to shame.

Looking great btw.

Have you welded in your vin number yet??

Johno 7th May 2012 08:47 PM

Hi Series Landy,
I got to own up to that one, it's not welded in yet..... So where do most of you guys place it?
To be honest I forgot to send the form away but will do it this week promise...:)
I have been looking at Aero catches to secure my bonnet when I get it and I believe you have fitted these, are they any good?
