Here are some pictures of the original car and then the latest photos.
The last panel (scuttle) is now on.
I have a bit of Aluminium that needs to be finished welding ( the photo of the dash is a bit too dark to show the detail), an end plate on the wing to attach and the painting to finish.
Hopefully it will be finished by the end of feb.

I have a garage at plus a rented council garage.
The car "next door" was scrapped ages ago, only it blew the turbo (owner did not check the oil and relied on a warning light that also didn't work!) and he didn't want to pay for road tax!
It stayed there, sticking out into the road for 2 years.
He said he would repair it but I have never seen him go to work, let alone fix a car....................
