Exciting times Gary!

Just need to get her home nice and safe and the fun continues.

I continue to watch the thread - it's an epic effort.

All the best

Just got home and unloaded. 02:30 to 17:00.
And it rained for every one of those 500 odd miles.

Big day! I’m wasted so it’s early beer time

Compared to many of Barry's works my car is (quite deliberately) missing some detail points for the concours judges, as they add nothing for a 'driver' other than a order of magnitude cost step.
Panel fit is not one those missing things :)
Of course it still needs a touch of filler but the basics are all there.

Um... are you sure that's finished?
Took me 3 years from that point, I think ;-)

Does look good, enjoy.
