Yes mate definitely - damn I miss uni!

 

Didnt get round to removing the subby today, my stepdad had to work late which meant there werent enough people to lift the shell and manouvre the subby and engine from under it - I want 4 people on the job to make sure nothing hits or pulls anything else!

Subbys out! Bleeding stressful job when the car isnt going to be painted, but it came out ok thankfully - subby and engine will definitely be re-installed separately though! Some of the pics show very well why I wanted to do this - shes mint on the outside but was painted and put together in 2009 and has been used regularly since then in all weathers and this has taken its toll on the running gear - all will be mint in a few months though :)

And a couple that show the rather large ports on the Speedwell head!

Thanks man! To be fair, you have her previous owner to thank for that - it was the exterior looks that instantly sold her to me so Ive only changed minor things outside. Totally re-done the interior though! Out of interest, where did you spot her?

Interior wise, there will be Speedwell gauges and a Speedwell throttle pedal (again, these will have to be painstakingly searched for over the coming months!)

 

He is way ahead of ya James!  :highfive:

Waddington air show last year iirc, just gorped at it for ages and then gorped at the interior and instantly fell in love with it haha. It's just soo... Perfect! I sent you some pictures of it that I took when I was there.

 

And credit to them then! The bodywork and attention to detail is outstanding!

Ah yes, I remember - one of the first shows I did!

 

Did a bit more today but all standard boring stuff - removed the steering rack, brake and clutch master cylinders and other bits and brackets in the engine bay ready for the paint to be re-freshed in there. No pics as not much to show!

 

However I do have some good stuff to show - started to get some of my Speedwell goodies through - so far I have a Speedwell Sprint catalogue to display inside the car at shows (details the parts and complete car builds, interesting stuff!), a Speedwell vacuum gauge from Sherly on here (need to find a second to match!) and a set of 100% accurate repro Speedwell wheel centre badges. Still got the wheel to come and am negotiating prices on a few more parts, I really enjoy hunting rare parts down!
