 I'm really happy with the seat wadding; It's made a really smooth squishy surface just ready for the leatherette. It glued on to th...

 First, a problem... Yes, despite me having far more space than a regular Haynes roadster, the air filter doesn't fit. I noticed it afte...

 Since the last post I seem to have done very little. To be fair, it's been absolutely freezing in the garage, and the clocks going back...

 So after last weeks debacle, things worked better. For reference, this is what the brushed on glue looked like; It makes me cringe just loo...

 Rather unsurprisingly the engine wiring is still going on. It's really tough going, but if I get it wrong it's either a dead car be...

 There's no two ways about it, this is probably the biggest job remaining. The main loom is about two inches thick, and I reckon maybe h...
