Still looking awesome... just out of interest have you got rid of the old side trim, or will it be up for sale?

Cheers

Thanks everyone.

I have finally got round to another update.....

We Doris come back to mine on Thursday (after being at Alexs since she came back from the body shop) and today we managed to get a days solid work done on her. It doesn't look like we've done much but all the electrics under the bonnett are hooked up, and amazingly we connected up her new battery and got some life out of the engine for the first time in 11 years! We only turned it over a couple of times as it needs fully flushing out etc but it's a fantastic start! She is booked in to have her MOT on monday 2nd ready for malvern show on the 8th so I'm feeling very excited now!
We now have a hard week ahead of us to get everything done for the MOT and then it's just the finishing off!!!
Here's a few piccies from today anyway!
