                  Build continues...

                  Boot seal in and the fuel filler hose now all sorted so the boot is pretty much done bar the wiring



                  Installed trumpets on the carbs and fitted filters







                  Thermo fan is fitted behind the grill. It's only a 10" one due to the oil cooler in the way but this should be more than enough given it won't be a road car. Sorry for the crap pic...I'll get more next time

                              Wiring has begun in earnest

                              Engine bay is now all finished with everything wired up including the dash inputs









                              Boot all finished now too



                              Now onto the interior



                              That's all for today. I'll get another update up tomorrow

                              Thanks for looking

                                Did you drill and tap the thermostat housing yourself?
                                Looks good.
