Thanks James.
It is slowly being worked on, just trying to get it as perfect as possible. There's a fair amount of leadwork to do as well as a previous owner removed it all!
Happy birthday BTW.

Again, even though I haven't posted much work is still progressing.

Pedal assembly fits and works now.

Got a new windscreen from PR Services and have been reshaping the aperture to fit it.

Image

While doing the windscreen somebody (not me) dropped a hammer on my only door glass. :?

Image

Now that the windscreen has been test fitted and is correct the lead work can be done.

Image

We are now in the process of finishing the leadwork before going back to the rear window which isn't quite perfect (yet).
Dare I say it but I'm starting to think about paint!

Nice progress Hendrik.

Best not to shout Avengers Assemble when working on the car?

Any progress Hendrick? Also is there any info on the other RHD cars still around? I have seen the list on the Registry and a pic of the Red one Mike has, always fancied a Notch.

Not really, my body guys mum is very ill (has been in intensive care recently).
I am considering my options while enjoying free storage as I have a feeling he may want to stop, it is very close to paint with all the welding and panel work done though.

I only know of 3 T5 notches, mine, Mikes and another one near to where I live.
Not sure there are or will be any more due to rust and having their roofs cut off to make cabriolets, but you never know what might be tucked away.
