Been down the garage today just finishing off the old, only got the gearbox tunnel to complete the a shakedown run next week.
However in an idle moment, I was casting my eye over my other 2 litre project car, no engine, dent in roof, and a rotten front bulkhead. So daydreaming was in order and I got to thinking maybe a radical redo was needed along the lines of making it a speedster with a roof removal, door tops removed,cut down low windscreen, no wipers, one piece removable front wings and nose cone, panel in from the rear boot top, alloy panelled interior, no bumpers, maybe a rolled rear pan and front, stainless mesh grille, full louvered bonnet, shaved door handles etc and maybe a small V8.
Mmm I wonder if an AC resto rod would work. Have to have a go at having a sketch up.
Still, have to wait and see if the bonnet and nose grille turn up first.
Oh and enjoy taking the Ol Girl out and about first.
