In fact if I'm not careful, I'll be holding them up. They've just sent me a couple of pics of the headlining that they have just fitted. It looks really nice. I'm absolutely delighted with how it is coming on. regards John Well that explains things. Still, good progress all round. On the road by Christmas should be dooable. :)

Just seen your body resto pics, bloomin heck, your working at 200mph. Super, will be lovely when all finished. Roy

Great progress, and all since June. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on how you get on with the bodywork. :)

Great job and really well done for doing the painting yourself. Roy

I have to say that looks great work Scott. Won't be long now before you get the body back on the chassis. :)

That'll be a cracker when its all together, especially when all the chrome work is fitted. What are your plans for wheels?

I agree with GT6s, pitting like that on the block surface likely to cause problems in future. I had similar on my engine rebuild so had the block decked. If you do that, then you'll need to machine the pistons to size as well. As already suggested, maybe another block is a better option.

Truly beautiful Beans. Fantastic job and I for one have thoroughly enjoyed your regular updates. Well done.

Beans that is such a top job you are doing and you make it look so easy. A lot of hard work done there. Not far to go now.

Have you considered doing a 2+2 conversion? Ideal opportunity with the body this well stripped. I did a 2+2 to my dhc four years ago and can show you a few pics of how if interested.
