Sorry about the last pic, don't know how to fix it...
Thanks Gaz and Dave, appreciate the comments. Would be great if she stayed in the club. Got some other interest as well meaning she may stay local to the Midlands but nothing definite yet.
The tester used to teach panel beating and fabricating etc and he reassured me that the bodywork/ welding etc is fine. I'm heading in the right direction with that type of stuff and, most importantly, what I am doing is safe and structurally sound etc. Its a huge learning curve and I feel like I'm on the first rung at least, with about 1000 still to go.

Thanks Rich....cant make tomorrow unfortunately as it would be great to catch up. Ive been putting so much time into the car that Ive neglected other jobs. I promised my daughter that her bedroom would be done for her Birthday on Tuesday so I really cant let her down. Have a good one though eh
Thanks for the compliments Chris and Terry, and Miles, yeah, 15" wheels would look great but think that might be a touch the new owner can do to her. If I was keeping her, I would probably invest in some. I haven't tried the final look without the wheel covers yet....I like them but pretty sure she will look better without them.
Cheers Steve

I was keeping quiet as you've done such a cracking job with it, but now it's been said, I'm another vote for 'spats off'....
Whatever, I hope you get a bit of fun with her before moving her on

Top man Steve, the day has come car looks fantastic hats off to you for all the hours you've put into what car and what a learning curve its been for you too. Hopefully it will be at one of the events so I can get a good look at it in the flesh.

Nice day in the sun today fitting all the last bits of trim etc. Issue with the NOVA form sorted (big thanks to Kevin at Hill Shipping) and will have a coffee on Monday with my pal Kev to go through the V55 to register.
Mick, Dom, Miles...., took the wheel covers off today, looks better I think
