Congratulations again on the birth of Amelia.

 

Is it just me or does she really look like Vicky?

 

Bet you are so proud.

 

Ben

Everyone says she looks like me, apparently nature makes babies look like their fathers so they know they are theirs and don't kill them.

 

Both mother and baby are currently sleeping.

Thanks Darren, that's mainly Ben. However, his pug stops now and doesn't knock horrifically

A little taster of things to come

 

IMAG15381_zps82ce0f5d.jpg

 

 

Trial fitting headlight bowls.

 

Unfortunately, the arches I bought from Huddersfield Mini Spares as IMM do not fit the car. I've got a couple of other miscellaneous arches which do fit the car so I'm sure it's the arches.

 

I've contacted them and await a reply.

 

There will be an epic update coming soon

The top of the door is a tiny bit too far in at the top, but we can sort that.

 

We're very close

Nipped down to the garage to get something I sold, then I decided this box would be ideal for shipping it

IMAG15721_zpse9135dc8.jpg

 

Opened it up

IMAG15711_zpsafffcb8d.jpg

 

Then decided to trial fit the new arches, they're spot on

Once those screw holes and seam voids are filled up, they will be supreme.
