right well managed to get the car in the garage the other week, after months of nagging the stepdad lol. got all the seams stripped down and clean up, and the engine bay is now fully stitch welded. not as bad i was expecting, quite satisfying, but REALLY pissed off that most of the welds you cant see, the welds are fucking BEAUTIFUL, but most of the ones you can see, the welder wasnt having any and are gash nevermind! gonna seal them all anyway so probably wont make much difference.

heres a few pics:

welds you CAN see:







im tempted to grind em off and do em again now ive got the welder working well....we'll see.


in other news, sorted a 'large workshop' in bridgewater, some of you may have seen it before will be able to get the car in there next week hopefully, will give me masses more space to get aroudn the car, and im really tempted to give it a coat of paint as ive gotta do the engine bay, inside and the new fibre glass bonnet and boot (when i get em lol).

its getting there anyway! feel like im actually making some useful progress now!
