Good overall progress this weekend and two excellent lunches as well. Saturday at Bigenor with Bethany and Chris who had driven last year from London to Ulaan Baathar in Mongolia. It was great to learn about the road and climatic conditions. Today lunch at Bigenor with Margaret and Humphrey Avon and Michael Davis. They brought a duck which was promptly wacked into the oven all washed down with a rather excellent 2001 Claret.
Anyway to the car............around 110 manhours between us this weekend, refreshing to be assembling bits rather than making them. Most time for me spent lining and adjusting relative positions of the main units: Differential to Gearbox to Engine. All looking good and hope to have it all lined and bolted down during the week. Ben Sud making a great job of the steering wheel. Brake cams fitted, hoping to get the relined shoes back from Tim Stamper tomorrow so we can finally assemble the rear hubs and drums.
Lots of discussion about radiators and the relative merits of front or rear of engine mounting of them!
Must chase the DVLA tomorrow to see if we can expedite registration. Must take some time off work to get on with the build.

good to hear you are working boy sud. He obviously hasn't learnt to be a proper student yet; four years of fine training and you wouldn't catch me doing any work.
