Hi had a tough couple of months so not much done, but have manage to join the two halves of the bonnet together, door frames hung and have made some side vents to help cool the engine bay. Hope to start the door skins soon if I can find some time.
Yes but a great time on an archaeological dig for 3 weeks but had to do some proper work in the evenings then had a week away with family its a hard life but some one has to do it.
Over the last feu months I have decided to change the engine and box as at the start I was set on an American engine but was talked out of this, so I have gone back to where I wanted to be at the start but the long way round. I have got my self a Dodge 318 engine and manual box and a back axel, this has resulted in some major change to chasse but now back on all four wheels so progress of sorts. That's the forth engine I have tried so that where I am going to stay and now I feel I am in the right place with what I have so back to getting on with the car but sure it will through a curved ball at me some time soon. The chasse was split in two and widened by a 100mm back frame changed new engine and box mounts made and new rear suspension so not to much have to have fun some times.
