The latest .....
The rear end is just about finished, new lock now fitted ......
The new boot floor ......
Front end is complete, but new headlights will be ordered ......
Rear opening windows now with brand new fittings ......
Sills now have brand new Ford sill protectors ......
Passenger footwell looking much better .....
Drivers footwell also looking much better ......
Inner arches looking like new once again .......
So the shell is 99% finished, i just need to get new fittings for the boot release mechanism i had already bought a new solenoid and we will be fitting a second telescopic arm to the boot door, so it opens evenly (an idea from the guys at the bodyshop )

Time for something bigger to update on .........
Andy at Cylinder Head Developments worked his magic and prepared my original head into one of his "ultimate CVH" wonders. Now remember my head had done 154,000 miles and only need 7 thou skimmed off one corner. It has now got bigger valves, polished and ported and a nice new Kent 35 cam and alloy pulley.
Big thanks to Andy at CHD, he has done a top job
