Here are the latest pics of my chim.

The paint job still needs to be finished but it is too cold for that and i am going to wait until i am 100% sure i dont need to change or adjust anything so it can wait a couple of months.

Anyway here we go...








...and one for you frazier...when your chassis gets THIS bad THEN you lift the body off!!! hehe



Shame you cant really see the pearl but the weather is grim up here!!!

It is going for the MOT next week...fingers crossed, the only thing i can see it failing on is the door release....lets see what happens!

Hello Andy, your car looks really good now. What make is the grille in your car? My grille only has many very little holes in it, doesn't look like there is a lot of air going trough. Yours looks much better, do you know where it came from?

Made it myself, the airflow should be very much improved with that size mesh...

Looking good. But, before you MOT, are your tyres as bald as the one in the first pic looks ?

Hi Andy, that is looking good. I see that your rear lights are not quite standard, what lights are now what at the back.
I am waiting for my frame to come back from the blaster/coating company, been cleaning up other bits, hoping to get it back on the road in the spring.

the nearside front is a tad on the shy side when it comes to tread depth!!!

Spend - yes i did take a leaf out of your book...i was thinking of making a 'cold weather' one as well...i shall see how it runs with this one first.

they are just standard new style lights without the perspex covers.

glad to hear you should be getting the chassis back soon and i hope it is not off the road as long as mine has been...it is torture....sheer torture....especially hearing people whinge that the weather is not too good for driving or their biggest orry is that the heaters arent working very well...mine has been off the road for 9 or 10 months!!!

(thats last bit is tongue in cheek and definately not directed at anyone)
