Engine in, bonnet and boot.

So last weekend was getting the engine in, A few jack and lot of work and eventually it was in. It was a much longer job and more work than expected to get it lined up and in. When it was in it started to become a bit clearer why. The engine is a cm of where it should be Slightly over and up from what is expected. We believe the car had a bump at some point and probably having been hit from behind has bent the floor back end supports a little so we will need to jog them slightly to get it to fit nicely as currently it is a bit close to one side and the tailpipes will rub the body work. However the engine is looking great with the powder coated tinware.

Powder coated tinware looking good
 This weekend we fitted the bonnet and boot. Both took a bit of time to adjust and sort to make sure they don't scrap the body work at all, once on they were looking great and it really does look like a car again.


So that is all the major work done, Lots of finishing touches to be added like sorting the engine, getting it running, bumpers and side skirts but really is starting to get there now.
