Saw that- it wasn’t up there long! Thought it may have had your name on it.

Are you going to buy some Light Battleship Grey paint, Tim?
Nice find, btw...

Re: Jon - I'll start one if you start one!
Morning gents
Yep, had to move v fast on that one! Bought from a very pleasant pro restorer round the corner from Peter May Engineering, who acquired the frame etc through a house clearance. No trace of the rest of the kit, though.
I haven’t had time to fully look at it as collected it the day before going off on hols. It is painted in chassis black and the top scuttle tube will need to be fixed, having had a whack. Other than that an unmolested mk2 frame with the dropped floors.
Anyone else got a small, welded in tag on the floor cross tube, facing the driver, as well as the normal stamped number on the offside rail just aft of the front axle area?
Cheers all, hope you are keeping well

Slightly less posh collection method than some of our other esteemed builders on here! Also, the IVA friendly front clam positioning might need a bit of work.....

Err, no! Still need to find /fabricate doors, wishbones, panhard rod, steering column, fuel tank, clamshell brackets, mirrors and a few more minor bits. And sort out the donor bits....
Oh, and do a 1000 sq ft barn conversion on an inadequate budget...(don't ask!)!
