Well I have got the webbing fitted to the fuel tank straps and i have got the fuel tank refitted. I have also fitted the new fuel line. I have also had the tyres fitted to the tyres to the newly painted wheels. I plan to get the new clutch fitted tomorrow along with the gear box to the engine and bolt all this back into the chassis. Just a question I forgot to mark the old clutch plate what face pints to the flywheel could some one tell me what face goes against the fly wheel please. Thanks Howard

Well I have now got all the new brake pipes made and fitted to the car where required. I have also got all the fuel tank painted. Just got to glue on some webbing to the fuel tank straps and then the tank can be fitted. I also have the new pipe for the fuel line.

Thanks for those kind words. Well I have managed to get more work done today, firstly I painted the other side of the wheels. I then pulled all the drums off and cleaned them all up getting rid of any dust or grit, the wheel cylinders were renewed a few months back so the hubs are in pretty good order anyway. I also managed to fit the new rear brake pipe and flexi. I have to buy another coil of brake pipe to finish the lines off. I also have new copper pipe for the fuel line. I also managed to get the gear box painted. And also fit the master cylinder. That is about it, will carry on with the car on monday.

Well I got more done today. I managed to get the tyres removed from the rims. I grit blasted the wheels and got them into primer. I also managed to get a few coats of olive drab on one side of the wheels. I also managed to scrape of the grime from the gear box. I masked up the areas from grit and blasted the box, i also got this in primer. Got to fit a new oil seal.

Well I have got more done to the car. The engine and gear box has been removed. The chassis has been shot blasted primed and top coated in black. The engine has also been gone through and painted. The prop has also been blasted and painted. Now need to go through the gear box clean and paint. Just need to buy a new clutch plate. then get gear box and engine back together.

Well I have had a good day and i have managed to lift off the body of the clipper off its chassis. The chassis is in real good order. The body will need some welding on the sills, and at bottom of the front floor near the posts. But all in all the car is in real good shape. I plan to get the engine out of the chassis and make a frame for the engine to sit in. Then get the chassis and blasted.

Well I have managed to get all the bolts holding the body to the chassis removed. I just have the pedals and steering to remove and i should be able to lift off the body. Are take some pics during the lifting process. Thanks Howard

I have already decided on the cloth trim I am using a Bedford cord and the colour is a light colour, it almost resembles the colours of the US air trousers during the 1940s called Pinks. The head liner is a light caromel colour and a pure wool material. Bottom of doors will have same color pvc trim. Couple pics of the bedford cord against original seat covering.
