Thanks for the nice coments

Bodywork wise, should be solid again and with new paint this side of xmas, so hopefully early next year time it will be ready to be MOT'd again.

Cant wait!!

Hmm, similar sort of time to when i hope my valver should be finished

Looks a pretty sound project Be good to see the finished version

Lots of bodywork! At least you've got it all planned out. Gonna be epic this.

Haha yeah more bodywork than I imagined, but after Shifty and Roofless have worked their magic I know its going to be completely rust free and a great base for a project!

Hi Luke!

Going for the same 'Flame Red', I think its a lovely red, really deep, and it shines really well when kept pollished

The red / white colour scheme was the biggest influence when I got the car, I loved it.

Still keeping it de-bumpered at the front, not at the back.

Still got to decide what to do about a bonnet as my fibreglass one isn't a very good fit.

Also thinking of an arch change!

Glad you got someone sorted to do the work , would have been
4 yrs wait if i'd took it on LOL.
Same amount of work as Ratty had James, will be nice for us all to
go for a blat down the lanes next summer ( if you lot can keep up)
with us !!!!!!
let's hope Shifty don't mod your wiring

[camp freddy]

At least you can come out in Ratty untill the Sprite
is home!! You could always give Dan a kick up the Jacksy
and get him moving....

[Shifty]

Hmm, haven't seen the wiring!!

Mind you the starter motor is still roped to the front panel!!

I'd like to get the welding done in 4 weeks, 4 years is pushing it a bit!!

Looking forward to getting started on it.

haha thanks for the nice comments,
yes its going to be great when we can all go out in them together, although I'll be taking it nice and steady.

Yes I'll be lost without the mini to go and fiddle with (sounds wrong?) on a weekend, so yes I think I will be over at Dans quite a lot trying to progress his as much as possible.

haha the starter motor

Progress on James has been halted due to a lack of Power!!

Since Friday I haven't had any power at home, an overhead cable has been damaged and at the mo the entire village is being powered by generators!!

Went off on friday and came back on in the early hours this morning!!

Damm you MEB!!!

Sorry James, however the panels have all been ordered now.
