WOW that is a nice colour and a very good finish

[Pete]

I think you have worked miracles with that car, what a fantastic achievement!

[Dom66]

Absolutely, I've just gone back to the first few pages to remind myself just what you started from

[polosteve]

Hooked up my trailer,

I know it looks low on the rear but it is parked half on the pavement and it does sit a lot better once on the level, also it towed well and yes I wrapped a Tarp around it for the journey.

I'm back on the boat,

Got a week on the Island so updates will follow.

[ScottyDave]

Half way through my week and thought I'd post an update of the progress so far. It's been a steady week, Stephen wasn't able to get time off work unfortunately but we're making progress.
It's back on its wheels after 4yrs and tonight we've got Stuart my brothers youngest coming round to help fit the engine.

Some photos for you, reassembly started with the throttle pedal because that's what makes it go

I think your build is quite inspirational. You’ve stuck at it through all sorts of tribulations! Lovin the pic of the engine on the trailer. Any idea when the car might hit the road?

[Dom66]

Looking great We can expect a fire up video soon then

[MattH]

That is excellent work, fast progress, especially considering the journey you have to get to the workshop!

[cadboy]

Great work Dave and family and looking very close to a runner now, well done

[ScottyDave]

Well that's it for this trip I'm out of time and need to catch the ferry in the morning. Probably only need another week to Bananarama! enough to get it back on the road but I need return to earning the wage.

Cheers Miles maybe next trip brakes, exhaust, headlight wiring, wipers and trans-cooler left to do of the basic necessaries.

Fantastic You must be stoked

Better start saving up for the petrol to drive her back home after your next visit

[DougieJ]

Once again looking great Dave,

Given the time it must take to get up to the island and similarly back down again - do you sleep at all when you are up there?
