Update Friday 21st March 2008

Another busy week for us both finishing off all the little jobs as well as fitting the doors and bonnet.
Ian, our painter came to check the progress and wants the car next Thursday to get the car painted.
The exhaust people, Custom Chrome, want the car Tuesday for the exhaust so it's all systems go to get everything finished ready for them to do their bit.

It feels like we are running out of time to get everything finished, but we just keep putting in long hours in an attempt to keep things moving in the right direction. It now depends upon how long it takes Ian to get it painted and the trimmers to get it upholstered.

I spoke with Chapman and Cliff a few days ago and we can expect the dash to be returned at the end of next week.

The plan remains that when it returns from painting we will build the car back up, make the sidescreens and hood frame, take the car to the trimmers to finish off the doors, carpet etc and then take it for its SVA.

I will give a brief update next week, but by then the car will be in the paint shop so there won't be a great deal to tell, but I may try to get a photo of it arriving at the painters!

See you next week
