Got this from smifys bits wasnt cheap but hey ho



Bit of trimming but fits well looks stock now 👍🏻

Took me an age to get this together had a right game getting the nuckle into the end of the trumpet
While I was under the car I fitted the exhaust rubber hangers

looks great, bulkhead sound deadening fits well. Smifys bits always do...

Since you fitted the rivnuts around the headlights after the shell was was painted, it might be an idea to put some butyl sealer around them since this is an area that's prone to rust

Looking good

Looking very smart - it's great when you're bolting on new/restored parts to a shiny shell

Bit of a milestone reached today

Its back on its wheels after many years 😁
First job today was to finish the passenger side rear suspension







Finally got it off this



Almost there



Fitted the new battery cable





Out of the garage on her own wheels











Feels good to have a rolling shell
I forgot how easy they are to push around at this stage 😆 it looks like a little monster truck
Ive finally been able to tidy up the garage so nice and organised now
Got a week off work so Im going to do as much as poss this week weather permitting
Cheers
