thanks mate
very productive day yesterday.
managed to knock many items of the now ever reducing long list
managed to find some nice flat radiator rubbers

so could finally fully mount the radiator and slam panel

Ill be riveting the slam panel on so added a second skin to the inner arch top to reinforce it and the bonnet pins.
finshed welding and smoothing the arches and stripped the old filler from the rear 1/4 and sill, and hey presto nice creases again!


Closed in the rear bulkhead and made recesses for the turret tops, the original idea to put them in a well wasn't going to work



also tidied a number of older welds and cleaned the gutters of the workshop.

I've always wanted to try this so here we go!
I like it, wonder if it will work? also not like I haven't better things to do!!!

JP your posts are great.
I've only got about 3 hours learning to MIG in the garage so far, but posts of what you have done make it look easy.
I figure theres nothing wrong with buying a wreck and having a go, even if it may never get back on the road.

And I thought I had cut it fine last time we left for pastures beyond, having only finished the forest arches with 4 weeks to go, Looks like its going into the container with wet paint.
I sit very low...im over 6 foot and can just see the front arch high point!







First time on its wheels on the ground in 2 years. And it wouldn't roll. forgot to remove the prop shaft off the floor prior to dropping it down, its too long and doesn't fit! and the floor sat on it!.
it is such a little car

Awesome work, agreed its seeing cars like this being built that motivates me and keeps me coming back.
Don't be a stranger make sure you keep the pics coming from the other side of the world.
Cheers Drew...

That looks awesome. How could you pack it away, I wouldn't be able to stop looking at it!

Great work JP, what is final colour going to be? Sorry if I have missed it in previous posts.
