For some rather boring reasons there hasn't been as much progress as we wanted.
A lot of time has been spent sorting out the bodywork, the crashed TT tail has been (very) carefully unfolded and is looking good.
Below is the first test fitting, (bits were in different locations before this). Steering column is to short at the moment, this is a known issue for us to deal with, the standard one on it was done so we could take it to the centenary event.
Lots of drawings and bucks are being finalised for the bulkhead, floor and tank, all done from references of various existing cars.
Finally the decision has been made to sell the special body it came with, it's not something we are going to put back on at any time and could be of interest to others and will save space in the garage.

Looking good Austin.
I know this was debated when you acquired the car but I really think the TT body on this chassis is a good solution for both.
And I had to lengthen a steering column for my car. It’s very possible if you plan the joint design and welding thoughtfully.

PS. I see that “750R” has now gone from the tail. That must have been on there for considerably more that half the body’s life!
