The engine is now in bits and being checked, Glen assures me all the parts are there :-)

It is starting to look like a car again !!

Assembled boot surround frame & mount, temporarily mounted old hood rail and 'B' posts, adjusted and checked alinment.
Made up off side and near side ash rear wheel arch sections.

Some major progress with the ash frame.
Rear ash frame, inner wheel arch's and boot floor very nearly finished.

Well,
What a day.

Welcome Sam, (Glens assistant)
