Another 250 SWB build

[clinkadink]

Great progress there, Gary. Well done. You must be chuffed.

Good to see the fuel filler pipe in. From the photo, it looks like it cuts through the boot space. Or is there still more to do?

The roll cage and doors look great. Tidy fit.

Keep up the good work, and the progress update

Thanks Chris, yes really very pleased with progress! Classic have lots on their plate at the moment but are doing the business for me whilst also allowing me to get stuck in when time allows!

The fuel pipe does indeed enter, or rather exit the boot area, but it’s still a work in progress to make it work whilst still keeping the boot space practical. More will be posted in a couple of weeks on this I’m sure!

Looking good Gary, just goes to show how tricky some aspects of the 250 build are.

I saw yours this week as went for a quick cup of tea at Classic’s unit. Nice work so far

Took a look at the ‘275’ while there . That will be an interesting build also.

Thank you DaveP, yes its coming together nicely. I do like Ian & Co's approach to things I must say too...inspires confidence!

Agree on the 275 but still prefer the 250 SWB personally!

Hope it misses the boot hinges!

putting it out there for next time ... if that filler was on the other side of the car would have been much easier? Not period I know but that’s a tricky problem dealt with by compromise.

.. no one lynch me please

Very true it would have been easier, but we all like a challenge once in a while don’t we???

We do !

I’m away briefly but Ian@Classic has been continuing his excellent efforts and kindly sent the following pics;

Here you can see the fuel filler pipe heads initially directly forwards towards the bulkhead...

That’s certainly the intention - needs some work but will post pics when completed
