Joe - whats happening next - the trimmer?

[v8s4me]

Going in on Saturday - I hope

[Top Gear TVR]

if you hate it - its mine :-)

i hope it works out well joe - so much work!

[v8s4me]

Cheers Steve. It would be a lot less work the 2nd around if anyone else is thinking about it. I've found most of the dead-ends on the way to the solution. All you need is that bloody header rail and Alan may have that one solved

Bit of inspiration for you Joe...... clicky



obviously without the might (and cheque book) of the BBC behind you we won't expect yours to be quite so professional,

those over-centre look familiar

The "parts kit" ready to go to the trimmer in the morning.



So in a weeks time we'll know whether "They" were right or not

Best of luck Joe...from all your friends following this six month epic

It's coming on nicely but slowly as there are lots of little decisions to be made and thought through before committing to cutting and fixing.

I'm not sure the photos show it, but it's looking "right" in terms of proportions and lines. Although the rear view is a little compromised at the moment [url]

Here are some photos from the trimmer's shop today. As you can see, significant progress and you can now get a feel for what the finished job will look like.









IMHO anyway, a nice low and smooth profile and I do like the way the window lookks and the slope to the rear of this part of the hood.

A bit more fiddling with the fit to get the creases out and we are nearly there. Well I hope so anyway seeing as we are off to Spa in two weeks

Looking good Joe.

Joe, that is looking awesome!
( In spite of it being as S with the roof up )

I really like the side profile, the rake angle of the rear section looks just right.
I'm not so sure about the red mirror cover though, shirley it should be a blue glove?

Nice work, looking forward to seeing it all folded away on the Spa trip.

Looking great Joe

Very rakish Joe...a gentleman's cruiser....I can see you driving down the road and pausing for a quick "helllllooooo ladies" Before twiddling your mostash and driving off

[v8s4me]

Note to self: grow a mustache (& get some new sunglasses)

[SJS357]

Coming along beautifully Joe.
Can't wait to see it in a couple of weeks

[mk1fan]

You're going to have to work a bit quicker to get Samy's one done before the S-Club Tour

Looking great.
