Hi Rich, that is good news just over 3 week to the NEC show so look forwards to seeing it. How much is there to do. Could tow it to the show and we can have 3 days as a team to complete it.

Forgot to say kettle is always on bacon in the fridge and bicies in the jar.
Body to be bolted back down, accelerator pedal tweaking? Think I know what the problem is, shifter honed in to make sure it selects well, reconnect the elecs loom is already in place, the back end needs to be checked for clearance from body after I did borrow alans adjuster for the torsion bar, lights mirrors fitting, steering column and dash to go back in, new seats to be set and bolted down, body rubbers ordering and fitting, general check over from send set of eyes, fuel tank needs the old return hole brazing and a one way valve fitting, think that's about it lol.

Happy to roll my sleeves up at the NEC and get spannering - don`t feet mate, we will get it finished     

Gives us something to do at the show too   

hmm apreciate the offer and something to think on,,
the current goal is/was to be able to drive it to work a day or 2 before the show so it gets a little shakedown and then turn up at the show with that " I did that, thats mine feeling " you know.

Badger, I've got stuff to do on my own buggy to get it ready for the NEC but I'm off from the 14th leading up to the NEC so I should be able to spare some time to come over and help you 

thanks Alan, Dave ojama has offer help aswell but needs notice beforehand.
so this evenin ive been slowly writing a to do and to buy list (first nights rest in 3 weeks and boy me feet are thanking me) things not looking to bad for the bolt on stuff will have to wait and see what happens with any delivery times.
didnt take many pics this time of the paint but got a couple near the end,, had a few of the local gawpers saying it looks better than the last time it was done.
same paint and flake but a change in the sizes, i went for a mix of 1/3rd large and 2/3rds small to give a better overall coverage but the large realy does make it catch your eye at different points
before the laqure went on the body

bonnet after last laqure went on

that looks a good finish. Are you doing full saturdays and sundays or are there week days on it. Wil sort you a spare day and have a ride up will not take long to get it done with the other offers.

working on it at any oportunity snoopy, the roof art should be a couple of nights work over the next week then cureing wait and polishing a week later, gotta pop up the hospital today porley grandparents, today/tmorra hopefully i'll have the accelerator problem sorted, run the antenni cables and braze a fitting on one for the radio, have the outside paint cut back and a coat of black mipa on the under tub to cover oversprays, body back on and bolted down, waiting on an email responce from a local radiator comp about the fuel tank they recon most fixes you will get back same day,,

Seems you are going on pretty well, if you get stuck can nip up ideally for a near full day as you are over an hour away on a clear traffic trip. Hope the grandparents get better soon.

Didnt get anything done last weekend, me nan was ready to be discharged yesterday but grandad wont be coming out.
its took a couple of nights and most of today but the bonnet and body are both wet sanded and first cut so will prob start with 2nd cut/semi polish and final polishing up tmorrow. found problem with accelerator to be,, i was missing the jubilee clip that holds the cable tube through the fan shroud, resulting in loss of tention and the pedal not returning to proper position,, sorted just needs a fettle once the engine comes alive.
fuel tank should be getting a lookover on monday
left my steering column with dave kingfishers should be sorting a nice snap on kit and wheel over the next week
so time to hit google for new seals and rubbers, a 2" flexi fuel hose, aero filler cap, what wheel i want dave to get me, and there is bound to be something ive forgot lol.
Rich.

got a couple of shots tween the sun and hail while the roof is inside being worked on.



Rich.

looking nice, if you need a hand before the NEC Allan says he is up for it as well so you could have a 3 man day for a blitz.

Hi Kieth, hopefully the gaffa will let me have this comming fri and monday off so will give me a 4 day blitz, stuff on order for delivery later this week fingers x, so hopefully the next few evening/nights i'll have the roof finished and the 2nd cut and polish done on the body and bonnet leaving a long weekend to put it all back together. and a last min mot.
if you and alan want to pick a day to help you both more than welcome  oh and dave ojama if he can?
Rich.
