Yes, might not use it often but they're bloody useful to have around

This mornings task, make up some nice new front spring hangers. Made them adjustable with an additional hole positioned 1 1/2 inch higher than stock so we can lower the rear if we want.

Well what a crossing that was, dead calm and a great sunset to end the day,
After collecting a bottle of gas and a sausage & egg sarnie we made a start on Saturday afternoon.
My brother had already made a start on the scuttle and had premade the repair panels so it was a case of getting them tacked in with the plan on getting around the windscreen finished and work forward.
This afternoon we had a solid shell from the A posts forward and have now made a start on the front floor pans.

I write this whilst sitting on the ferry waiting to depart the island.
The week has gone quickly but was productive, we got the drivers floor pan done and the chassis beneath and made a start on the passenger floor then we... well I mean me cost us a day by getting a spark in the eye and a visit to A&E, who unfortunately didn't have the means to remove it, dam thing was stuck in good and referred me to a specialist optician.
Anyway we rebonded the quarter window plugs into the body and refitted the front so Stephen can see how the headlamp mountings fitted in, of these we managed to salvage one but had to remake the other.
So we did almost have a solid shell this week till I mucked it up but the floor is the last large piece to go and the patch is half made.
