Granted, my efforts on the car have been pretty minimal, but I did stick at it even through the epic chilliness that was last winter. According to the high tech climate device that my Nana got free with a bunch of chat she ordered from the Betterware catalogue, I was fettling with the car even in sub-zero temperatures..
Anyway, there's no getting past the fact that progress on the car has been as slow as it ever was. I haven't bothered with any updates as the little bits and bobs I've done haven't really been worth it on their own. I've had a bit of a busy time at work, and taken up the drums (again) so most of my time has gone here. So here's the update anyway...
Engine & gearbox out. Just the ancilleries left...
This is actually petrol that came straight out of the hose from the fuel pump. I think I might need to take the tank out at some point and give it a good clean.
"D" for deluxe model. Apparently all deluxe models had this stencilled on, up until it was moved onto a sticker above the battery tray. The Deluxe spec on my car meant that the car had a passenger sun visor, and a windscreen wiper on the passenger side.
The interior with the majority of the dashboard innards ripped out. The replacement crossmember too.
The current state of the car.
I've started practicing welding in preparation for all the dodgy tin that needs replacing. I can't wait for the main work to get started (instead of just pulling its off).
