HHi Ruairidh
Looking great! That’s at least 3 GE Cups
Under construction in Scotland just now.
Getting the screen frame fitting nicely makes the project
look more like a car and a major milestone.
We started assembling Neil’s engine yesterday, my rods go off for metalling next week.
Looking forward to your next posting with
The wings fitted?
Regards
Bill G

A good day today, the body, doors, windscreen and rear wings are all fitted correctly.

I love the pace you work at when you get going Rory, most inspiring!

Thank you Ian.
In truth, I work like this 7 days a week, I just don’t photograph all of it!
My own projects have little time given to them, I am really looking forward to completing this one.

This is all very exciting stuff Ruairidh. I love the fact you have a good few original fittings and panels.
Just a thought, does the bonnet rest moulding continue down between the body and flitch plates?
