Just a little progress report:

Note the 'armour plating' on the old boot floor. M-machine new one is above it (3rd post - only one pic at a time? Bizarre...)

Couldn't tell you, Bob - but I bought it in Wiltshire a few months ago, so it could have been!
Yes, the garage is great - problem is, it has to share with a '68 Mustang fastback and a '65 AC 289, which have to sit outside when I'm grinding and welding. I told my wife the new garage wasn't big enough!

This is a normal day:

You will notice the old bit of curtain hanging from the timber - if I push the Mustang so the tail sticks out of the garage, I can drop that down and do minor jobs with no danger of damage. Welding and grinding floors is a different matter!

Hi Roger, You don't  hang about do you, :) You are obviously going to finish it by next weekend so can I book mine in for the following week.:D

I've spent the last two weekends trying to get the wing/bonnet gaps acceptable:(
