And So It Begins....

[SanRemo78]

Got over to see progress this morning and it's looking good. As expected the engine bay is done including the scuttle area and the interior, boot and underside are also finished I think. No lacquer on the inside yet and I'm not sure if they're doing that. The colour looks exactly what I wanted. Hope to get the car back at the end of the month!

Happy Days! Take the time to feel satisfaction!

What a lovely job Guy. love the colour too.

Although it doesn't get in the way, you could have removed the redundant clutch
cable bracket. Perhaps you wanted to keep some originality.

Looking forward to the build.

Never even gave it a moments thought Nigel! It's not like I need to save weight with this build but yes, I'm looking forward to the build stage too. Whilst there are lots of parts ready to go back on immediately the engine and box still need doing, plus radiators and wiring loom and headlining.... I'm not going to rush it. Might be nice to have it ready for the NEC show in November? I'm sure that there will be a load of parts I'll end up waiting on that aren't on the shelves yet (exhaust for example). If I had been fully retired and able to work on it 7 days a week then it might have been a simple assembly job from February but that's not the case. I lose a couple of hours a day with work and a week a month away from home with Hawk Cars. Not that I begrudge that at all, far from it!
