Having taken this on, and I have to say my most ambitious project to date, it's ticking along nicely, received various parts from jcs, noted the flexible hoses were shorter by about 4" havnt tried them on the car yet, bodily for a car that's been from member to member the body is solid with general repairs required and sorting out of boxes, does anyone remember when it was last on the road, I have a newspaper cutting from 92, the car is the same as I bought it, onwards and upwards as they say

Re: TLL81
Update on the bodywork, it's a long laborious process, found the original bonnet strengthening panel for the bonnet stay was missing, acquired another bonnet, then after fitment and primed found the missing part, also the Jowett box is numbered 3000 ISH looks in very good condition but gear selection on the bench is hit and miss with the bell housing attached, but it's getting better, I have another Jowett box 6000 ISH but the gears look quite worn, been refurbing the fuel tank, it was full of sand, used white vinegar and baking soda, it's been nearly a year but all is going well, found a as found picture, definitely a barn find
