New radiator side skirts, to draw more air into the radiator instead of it getting pulled around the radiator.

Well over 3 years later and I can honestly say she is almost done, had to just fix a cracked water pump and bad ignition coil, have some minor leaks from tranny and a few other locations, nothing major, but hey she is British, so what do you expect.

OK well decided to do a few field modifications to her, so today had a step made and grab handles. Need to tidy up the engine compartment, touch up nicks and scratches in the interior etc. after redoing the tranny and radiator, sandblasted the jack and accessories today, will get primed and painted, the brackets to hold them will go in in a few weeks when they arrive, have to make the holder for the jack handles etc, that are located towards the bottom of the engine compartment on offside. Still trying to find a few more goodies, like the inspection lamp bracket, pretty much have written off a binnacle for now, looking at a modified PLM mount (field mod) and a few other goodies. Have about 95% of the CES kit for it so she is almost 100% complete per what is required per the books, then maybe a few shows and possibly over across the pond for some events in 2014!!!!
