Absolutely fantastic show this weekend at the NEC Restoration Show with Everyone from and a few new friends picked up along the way. Astounded at the attention an ugly old shell commanded all weekend. Fully spurred on by all the encouragement, I am eager to start the real work.

For those who didn't manage to see the car in the flesh this weekend a full walk around video is coming soon.

So very happy to have been a part of the show this year. And, to be supported by so many knowledgeable people in the Club as I begin my project is invaluable. You all have my thanks in advance.

But first, a much needed rest.

No ci**rs today either. Defeated by a single bolt. By the time we got it out we were out of time. Only the rear suspension to remove now. Videos will edited and posted soon. Work on hold now until the weekend
