Building my first Austin Seven car

[Daisy Dunford]

Thanks you all for your encouragement on my "Purple People Eater", it sounds like a good name. I will have to think about that one.

the next thing we did was put an end on the starter motor cable, so we used dad's special clamp and then put heat shrink onto the end to seal it, and make it look neater.

the next day, Dad's friend David can to help us with the doors! he is very good at woodwork but we still had to drill the hinges ready for the screws.

we screw the hinges onto the door, now we have doors that open! yay! 

sandy has been amazing and has helped us with the disc wheels. at first i didn't really get the vision that Dad had but the other day when i saw them on the wheels they looked fab! and makes my car stand out even more. Dad says it makes it look like a Hot Rod.

We haven't had much time to do the bonnet, so we are hoping it will be dry! but just in case dad has found a chummy one for the meantime, to hopefully cover the engine.

I was just listening to the purple people eater song and i quite like it, thanks guys.
