The Long Road

[Fast_Eddie]

Alex,

Thanks. Progress has been slow as I have recently relocated the car home and I am still setting up the workshop.

Can you change the name of the thread? I don't think I have the access to do so anymore.

How about, simply "The Long Road"

Regards

Edward

Update on the engine bay progress

[TTV6FC]

Hey Ed,any progress here or have I missed something? ???

[Fast_Eddie]

You haven't missed much! There was a big push prior to Shannons at Eastern Creek, until I realised I had something else on that weekend and couldn't make it. I haven't lifted a spanner since... Need to get back to it.

A few shots of the engine bay:







Fitting up the front panels



Almost finished from this angle

[Fast_Eddie]

I wish I did.

Only problem is that it isn't finished.

Found this under a cover in the garage recently...  ;)

How can you get that close and not finish the job Eddie, looks like you could be driving the old girl around with a few more hours work.

Ditto Ed everyone wants to see it finished.
cheers,
Graham

C'mon Eddie,I'm sure you've got your reasons but if you can't finish yours from there,what hope have I got! ???

If only it were that simple.

Made plenty of progress yesterday. Bled the brakes and clutch, finished off the wiring (yes it is a Vintage Wiring harness) and attended to numerous little details.

Like the slash cut exhaust tip, and self portrait.

Eddie
I was just thinging about you and your wagon again yesterday. This project has been in the works for such a long time and every time I look at your posts It inspires me.

I hope to see your wagon hit the road one day, sooner than later.

Cheers Jim
