engine and box in, oil cooler in but not piped up yet, if anyone thinks the oil cooler looks odd it's because it is made up from saracen oil cooler pipes i found in a scrap pile and the elbows are normal 22mm copper pipe fittings total cost £3

if i come across an original later on i'll nail that in instead. the rad has been recored and will go in next week as will the dash which has been rebiult by my father (thanks dad) and hopefully it will be running next week and moving around under it's own steam. the track warping freed up nicely with a bit of persuasion from a 14lb sledge although it needed new bearings on the cam. the steering and brake linkages are in but need connecting up and last but not least the gearbox selector shaft will need fitting and fettling, this is the bit that may cause some trouble as i've heard horror stories of the time it takes to get it setup right but you never know i might get lucky
