Very nice Davie
Enjoy the rebuild.
I've still not done much. Our wiring loom is sitting in place and we are making fuel pipes and brake pipes nice then we are putting in our tank which we don't have yet. It will get done soon I can feel more time off coming on...

RebornS1, thanks, i'll need to have a look at your thread to see whats goin on, I was thinkin today its actually gonna be a joy to build back up into a car again!
I've stuck on the rear quarter windows, doors are half back together just need seals and glass (tommo's job) and the door and boot rubbers are in place.
the boot needs adjusted to the right a little then i'll stick in the rear window/sunroof
Painted the inside floor today as well.
Rab, Here:
Ferg1e, how u doin mate what car was it you had in the shed? It's been allot of work but think its startin to pay off now, bet you thought I was fightin a losing battle
I stay in west end of Glasgow, were you on track in your puma on sat at K-hill?

Nice one Roro, you gonna take it on track again or get a wee track toy maybe?
Euan, It's mad it's going to feel like a totally different car now its all solid and stitch welded at the front, It didnt drive bad before it was just rattley as fook as the interior had jus been flung in!
Ferg1e, Thats good, bet your mum was filled with confidence after that
Think i'd be too scared to put my car on track
Not much has changed, jus glass, sunroof an rear lights!
