The body has gone to be painted!
I expect to be getting that back in a couple of weeks, in the meantime I have put on the final brakepipe and am trying to get hold of an electric radiator fan for a Ford Sierra.
The guy painting the body will also be lacquering the dashboard for me. It's easier for it to be sprayed on nice'n'smooth than for me to spend endless hours sanding away with wet'n'dry to get a nice finish.
When the body is back, it's just a case of popping the wiring loom in (yeah, like it will be that straightforward), bolting the seats in, connecting the instruments in, replacing the plugs/leads/battery and firing it up.
MoT here I come! Still to do:
