Hi All,

Unfortunately one of the problems I inherited with my "needing full rebuild" car was that it had the wrong radiator fitted as some may have noticed on earlier pictures. It was a modern replacement but I did not realise until after I had paid to have it re-cored. It would have done the job but it had a flat top and just didn't look right as the proper one is quite distinctive.
The boys at Lovegrove sourced the proper part and it is now away for a re-core ! Well, it's only money.. :'(

Before we took out the radiator the car was running very nicely.

At least the lights are in and the bumper fitted. On March 12th she is going to Mr O'Keefe for new carpets and a navy hood to be fitted. Can't wait !

PS What bumper?? I wasn't happy that it was near enough to the front bodywork so the brackets needed to be adjusted and they'd whipped it off before I took this pic. Heres an earlier one with Terry (he is to bodywork fabrication what Einstein was to science!) removing it again.

Steve.
