2 years since I did anything productive to mine.

I was looking at your build thread for tips last night - wondered what had happened - still if I had a decent Sierra I may have less time for the Roadster!

This old girl is still sitting in the drive.
Over 3 years since it was last used on the road.

Garage is over run. my Jagaur Sized it's engine in Oct 2015 so I spent quite a few months planning and replacing the engine.

Then Bought a spares S-Type.

I had to get rid of one of my two sierras ( The XR4x4 ) to make space to lay up the dead s-type. So I am down to just the two projects my Sapphire and the Roadster.

The list of jobs on the road cars is dropping, so time is becoming more viable again.

Crawling on with a bit of progress - couple of pics here:

The long breaks are showing up - I struggled with drilling the alu floor (drill bit clogging with alu) and found a post from 2 years ago on my blog mentioning using WD40 as cutting fluid making cutting the alu much easier...!

So keeping a running commentary for the sake of helping myself didn't work that well!

Amazing how long some jobs take - drilling out about 60/70 holes at 2mm then again at 3.2mm took me the best part of two and a half hours! No wonder these cars take a while to build!!!
