    Finally finished the welding on the shell (untill the next rebuild) :)

    Heres the sill midway going on..

    Did a few mechanical jobs aswell, things like rebuild the pedal box, mod the rack etc.. As a result, the shed is now a bit full of bits ready to be refitted..

    Last thing was to get some primer on the engine bay..

    Got to go and buy a crap hoover to finally get rid of all the sand inside tommorow, then primer the inside and boot. Then tuesday, wed some filler and prep, Thursday some yellow... Ideally, by the weekend, It will be a rolling shell again :D:D:D

    I know man... Will make it extra loud so you can here it brapping from Canada!

    The car left on a trailer up to my Dad's tonight to be tucked away in his garage until I have rebuilt the engine and done the shell prep (5 linking and 4Age-ing) his MG midget. If all goes to plan I should have the MG shell done in time for Christmas and then put the fresh 20v back in the escort.

    Heres the pics from the weekend....
