Ian

Lots of work was accomplished today , Look at the picture below and you can get an idea
of the number of people working on the minor . managed to fix the rear mudguards / wings / both bumpers /radiator / battery and tool box , steering column , advance /retard.........

and the result of the days work
6 days to go now, tomorrow's target is to get the entire wiring done in a single day.

Impressive, both the car and the workforce. My (non)payroll is one plus occasional help in holding things from (she who must be obeyed) normally at the price of a theatre ticket!! Keep going, sure you'll make it.

Todays's target was to get the entire wiring done, but we were only able to prepare
the loom & fix the lights. Tomorrow's agenda, include finishing of wiring, fixing of side panels on body (already upholstered)
fixing the windscreen frame, attaching the petrol tank and dash board and adjusting/fixing the bonnet ,
connecting the handbrake amongst many other things.

with just 5 days remaining the anxiety is getting too much too handle....

Tough day today , lots of work done, attached the petrol tank , dash board,
some wiring , re-fixed the bumpers ,attached the headlights/sidelights , fabricated the hood brackets ,

the day seems too short, end before it starts.......4 days are left now.....

Update : with just 2 days to go , lots of work is pending but most of the work just needs the finishing touches.
we are done with the wiring , all lights work , had issues with earth as most of the parts of the body and chassis
have paint , but has been sorted , upholstery needs pasting , the hood is being stiched right now and its 10.20 pm here.

Fired the engine today and it sounded sweet , tomorrows agenda is to complete the hood , attach the doors,
fabricate a bracket for the sparton horn , running board rubbers and trim to be fixed, to get a new set of tyres,
a new battery, and to paint the wheels , ...............the list never ends.

some pictures :-

Am speechless - never seen anything like it - a true inspiration for us all.

so near yet so far !!
it looks like we'd be ready sometime at midnight tomorrow, the last day to get everything done,
there is no choice left , the list of things to do is endless , so I wont get into that,
just a picture to let know of the situation at 11.00 pm here .........

Don't forget the wheels!

with about 10 hours to go , we are almost there !!
too tired , need to catch a wink , have to rush back to the workshop in 5 hours......

couple of pictures ( note the wheels ) and Proudly displaying the club badges ( Both PWMN & VMR )

I have my fingers crossed that everything comes together for the show tomorrow. Good Luck, I have enjoyed following your adventure!
