It s been nearly a year since I completed my car, so I thought I would share my photo diary of its construction. 
I purchased a rolling chassis with a water damaged engine, with similar numbers so presumably from the same original car. 
The photos May be of use to someone building a special as many of the parts were fabricated by me in my workshop (seats, flyscreens, alternator mount, etc etc!)
Registration was done with help from the club and an age related number was issued. 
Here is a link to my Flickr album. Beware, many photos!

Andrew

Great job Andrew. Thanks for posting the pics. I saw the car at Bicester and wrote it up in the 750MC Rumblings. Are you attending the Scramble there on 6th January?

Well really, what a lovely job! Suitably impressed, lots of careful detailing, and I just love the fabric bodywork.

It must do, he needs it since he has alternator Smile

Andrew, after using the car for a year is there anything in it you would do differently now if you were building it again?

Is there a Facebook for the construction of this car or is it interlaced on the Austin Seven Facebook page?

Jamie.
