March 6th 1996

Wow! It's ages since I wrote anything here. I'd better get things up to date.

Well the instruments have been ordered and received, the dash template has been made and I will shortly be cutting the dash blank. I have bought the sheet metal and used bits of it to block off those ducts of the heater which I won't be needing. I have also got a good way through making the air intake box for the heater which ensures that the heater blows fresh air into the car and not engine fumes (cool, huh?).

The seats have been paid for and collected, although I am still waiting for the headrests to come through.

I have also finally got the petrol flap hinge correct and working and all that is holding up the body being painted are a few minor holes that need drilling for bits and pieces here and there (I want to drill all the holes before the body is painted!).

Next things on the list:

  1. Buy an electric fan from Ford Factors, also get some radiator hose
  2. Cut out the dash board and get it lacquered/polished
  3. Get the body painted
  4. Fit the last brake pipe
  5. Get the grille mesh
