Yes I know it's Saturday! The problem with bragging about doing the update 3 times in a row on a Friday is that when you fail the following week theres nowhere to hide.
We have made more progress this week and now when entering the workshop you can more easily see a Gentry developing in front of you rather than requiring a huge amount of imagination.
Have discovered one or two little issues, probably brought about as the result of tweaking something early in the build! The problem is that a little tweak here and there goes almost un-noticed at the time but then manifests itself later as a larger tweak required to something else and so on throughout the build.
I have spent most of the week trying to get the doors to fit and line up with the scuttle beofre sending the doors away to be remoulded so that in future everyones doors will fit the curve of the body.
However, the tweaking hasn't put me off and I would now like to redesign the feet for the windscreen, so if there is anyone out there reading this that can offer any help with a new casting then please feel free to make contact as soon as possible.
The old casting is slightly too small and needs modifying to make it more sleek and curved and comply with SVA regs and as it's currently aluminium causes problems when it comes to being chromed. A new one shaped differently and cast from a strong but easily chromed metal would be much better so please help if you can.
Will add some photos that we took the other day. Will post the original 'untouched' copies here on the blog as I've been promising to do so for a few weeks now.
Hopefully will hear from some of you very soon. If not, I'll try to be back next Friday.
