So, it's been about a year since I made the effort to update everyone on my progress (or lack of).

Finished painting the shell on the 31st October 2009, and it got moved to the new house (with garage - casa del mutley) around November and has pretty much sat since.

Fast forward 12 months and finally some progress - bought a new headlining and in the process of fitting and also some rose jointed heavy duty tie bars and lower arms. Which means a few more modifications and added parts to the subframe to fit them. Pretty much only need a few more parts to get the old boy on wheels now!

Enough yapping, a few pictures so you can see that 'he' is actually still alive and well and I haven't given up just yet!

Painted Shell - Latest Pictures

Colour to Door, Rear Arches & Bootlid

Some colour added to the rear arches, one of the doors and the F/G bootlid. Plus a token picture of the car with some sunshine on - wow. Left to go at the moment is the other door and obviously the most important part - the car. Fibreglass front end and front arches to be done at a later date, but this all needs to be done as we're on a deadline to move the car from our workshop now we have a garage at our new house!

Interior Painted

The interior is now finally got it's coat of colour. Sorry about the poor quality pictures - it's hard to see the actual colour true in these due to the lighting. Plus a token picture of the contrast which looks gorgeous (in my opinion of course!)

Black Roof

We finally have some colour on the car! It's a major achievement and it's been a long time coming, it went very well considering it was the first time we've sprayed. Was a few runs, but as quoted "It was a mind-fart rather than anything technical".

Prepping for Primer

Etch primer done, it's now time for cleaning out and getting ready for the top coat of primer!

Custom Hinges

Hinges done. Ordered my fancy nuts from Tastynuts.com
