Todays progress, A pillar ordered and paid from Ex-Pressed, I will have a complete Left A pillar spare if anyone is looking for one (as I ordered 3 there was no difference in shipping).
 
I went and saw the car yesterday and a lot of the small customized holes have been welded up and the new replacement sections delivered.  
 
I have begun the re-assembly of the cars "race" engine which had a broken piston and caused all the bearings to pick up bits of the metal.  Fortunately the crank did not suffer and the bore cleaned up quite well.  I sourced 2 NOS Hepolite Powermax pistons and had one fitted to the broken ones rod.  The original owner spent a lot of money balancing the internals, heat treating and polishing the rods and crank, tear-dropping the oil galleries etc.  I replaced the bearings and will re-fit the pistons tomorrow, then start on the heads.  I need to get the cam analyzed so I can set the top spec Yella Terra roller rockers, as there are no numbers stamped on its nose. Valves are oversize and the ports have been worked over.  The 4 barrel manifold, 600 Holley, and winged sump have been fitted on another engine currently in the Orange car, so Ill need to swap them over to complete the race motor.  Ill sell off the race motor, and running stockie with T5 gearbox once the D Port and 3 rail box are assembled.  Big job this.....
 
I have found the uprated gearbox internals and arranged for them to be put into a 3 rail case.  I have also located a D Port engine which I will freshen up inside thus taking care of the running gear.  
 
My 2 missing Rostyle  wheels have arrived, I had to swap a fair few parts with their current owner to get them back, but they are here now and alls well.

good stuff looks to be coming along
 
was there any reason you went for the replacement wheel arch instead of sourcing a whole new quater panel .... mine needed a wheel arch section but once i seen how much welding etc was easier replacing quater
 
good to see it getting fixed tho

Todays progress.  A Pillar fitted!!  Not so easy I'm told but have a look at the results

The A pillar is a bugger but that looks fantastic. The worst part of the car should be treated that way. Well done.

No thats the rear of the left A pillar to show that you need to weld in brackets from your old one, and that we are going to the trouble of rustproofing both sides

Bit more progress, Elliott has fitted and welded the battery tray and bracket, New left front guard offered up and the attachment process begun.  Its close but no cigar, the rear edge to door gap will need metal adding to ensure good straight shut line, but these were not made like Rolls Royces were they so you need to expect a little fettling 

Looking good - Going to love that colour
