Well, I’ve joined, and been asked to put up my project. I have already done a bit (as evidenced on prewar minor), but anyhoo, my minor semi sport as it arrived with it’s trials body on.

What a cracking car - looks like it means business!

Look forward to further updates. Good to see a black grill shell, as well.

It didn’t mean business a few days later as the body came off to allow the original to go on.

A catch-up on the build, brakes rebuilt, shocks too.
Engine back together and in.
Firewall and fuel tank fitted, body placed to see if it lines up (needs a bit of woodwork but not much)

Built a new wiring loom, I know, it’s not meant to be wrapped but it looks neater.

After much discussion I moved the firewall inside the scuttle, looks better.

Still don’t have an exhaust, may have to make one up?

Sometimes it’s good just to do a nice bit.
