Back to black and back home





The bodyshop delivered the bodyshell back home this afternoon - it looks absolutely fantastic. the doors and bonnets will follow in the next few days.


They managed to weld up the two horn wire holes in the front panel that I had missed - these were only on cars from 65 model onwards once the horns became externally mounted.


Anyway I have an initial plan of action for the weekend which will be;




  • Fit the bumpers and get them out of harms way and give protection to the car


  • Bolt the chassis down


  • Fit the steering column


  • Fit all locks and latches where ever possible


I am not going to rush after all this time but will move on at a good pace.
