April to October 2005

 

A lot has been done in this time including gaining out first MOT!  Loads of pics of welding and more bits of metal being stuck to the car and finally some mechanical work on getting the rear brakes sorted out.  The car sailed through it's MOT with no problems at all, but then a week later we discovered that a couple of the valve springs were broken, so I had to do some un-scheduled work on the old A series engine so we had a car to drive for a bit...

We have also made sub frames for the new seats and put some carpet in.
