Okay, so they are not the best photos, but he's a good body man (Graham) and not a photographer! Car is progressing well and the main body has been primed and block sanded and re-primed. The shaping looks great and he's refitted the doors and the gapping is sharp. Its effectively ready for paint after a final flatting. The bonnet is now completely stripped to its component form (a lot of nuts, bolts + panels) and he's made a start on repairs albeit cutting out rot. Next week he's going to prep the sub-frames and bulkhead and get them in ...read more

It's now early May and I've just returned from my second trip to Malaga to see the progress on the car. If I'm honest, not a lot of work has been done in the last 8 months which is a little disappointing but that was one of my reasons for going down there for a few days. I thought Graham (who has the workshop where we are doing the work) might need a kick up the backside to get his arse into gear and get on with the project.
