Unreal job you're doing of that mate, looks better than new!

Oh it ain’t my craftsmanship it’s Ali McClelland’s. If I had skills like that I would just play with myself flat out.

Awesome stuff.

Id be afraid to drive it

Be nice to enjoy it & send it for tidying once every ten years or so.

Better than it has ever been! Can’t wait to see it in the metal. Exciting.

When do you expect to have it home Baz?

Lovely looking car and some amount of work going into it. Can you not source a new set of headlights for it?

Well spotted, they should be here by now.

Thats fantastic. Great job. Must get a look once its back on the road.

You must be quite patient, I know once I have my shell ready to rebuild I'm going to be impatient trying to get it back together as quickly as possible. Would love it to take only 2 months, but realistically its going to be half a year upwards.



Is this going to get driven or will it be mostly a garage queen?

Hey Ian

I had to learn to become patient. It’s out of our hands, but it’s in the right hands so I just let him be.

Intend to drive it, sunny days, the odd show, just as before (5/600miles a year).

We'll see how I do with the patience, I want everything done right, but at the same time, its been off the road for so long and I'd very much like to be driving it sometime in 2024, ideally before end of the summer.


Hopefully we get many dry days next year for you to be able to use it.
