Hello JC,

You must wear your underpants outside your trousers and have a big 'S' on the front of your T shirt, up up and away.........

Hi Pete,

thanks for the kind words, but I did also have help, with some of the things

Here are some of the alloy bits, my friend Lennart polished.

Hello JC,

Crikey, their bright, thats proper bling. Did you lacquer them after polishing or do you just keep polishing them. I understand this restoration was a few years ago, how has the polished alloy stood the test of time.

Hi Pete, yes Lennart are good when it gets to "Bling" up alloy & stainless steel.

Edit , here they are more than 5 years later , unpolished since they were fitted.

anyone who can guess, what I am doing in this pic ?

[InimiaD]

You're either playing Super Mario Karts on a Nintendo or loading / unloading a certain newly painted Clubman shell.
Bet that was the day that you had been looking forward to Jens.

Car back on the lift, and the assembly begins




and with bumper

First weeks work.

Sunroof & roof aerial fitted.

Had a new Wool of England cloth headlining made, by a specialist.

The old one smelled so bad, that the company had to keep it in a sealed plastic bag, so it didnt stink up the workshop




Next was the rearend, I could finally see how the car looked, with the NOS US spec rearlights, I bought for it 7 years earlier .

[JC T ONE]

Rooflining finished, took the roof for a "test drive" to check all worked.

New rubber seals fitted, so all is ready for the windows.




By now we were into the long nights, in order to get it finished in time.



PS, the tekst on the White paper say "keep hands off the paint"

A picture, of some of the people who came to the garage/helped, during these hectic days.

The person in center sitting down, is my late Mother.
She made sure everybody had coffee, or something to eat, at all times.

Hey Rene,

well it was nice to see it come together again, but I was very stressed & tired during these weeks.

The work continued, here the enginebay, with subframe back in, and almost ready for the engine to go in
(sorry for the poor picture)




All the heatshield, were copied from the original ones fitted by JanSpeed.

Thanks to Morten, for the help with the special washers, for the rivits.

Last preperations, before engine is put in.




Engine now fitted, then it was time for the wiring loom =


as you can see, did this mean, I could start the assembly of dash & interior .

[Frogeye61]

It took a bit to see exactly what that last picture was. Maybe the front of a 68 Mustang, Then I recognized defroster pipes. It's not often I see that type of dash, and especially from that angle.

Never thought of that and yes, I can see what you mean.

I was on the floor, when taking the picture, and the car was still up on the lift.

5 days left to get it all sorted, but who is counting





Thomas is having a coffee, after we finished with seats/dash etc.
