[rampant rivet]

Have had to dry fit nose shell prior to truck being inspected by the DVLA in order to get a registration mark, free road tax and MOT exemption the beast really is starting to look like it should though I have to remove the nose shell to enable me to finish off electrics / lift radiator to correct height, fit headlights if I ever get them etc etc etc.

On fitting the nose section I came accross this problem see photo - I think that in a previous life this truck was fitted with a diesel engine resulting in the shell being modified, the gap shown is not parellel and does not look right I think that before removal I will take some measurements and adjust to close the gap up, two steps forward one back as they say Off to France for the annual beer and battlefields tour next week which will be good to enable me to recharge the batteries and then push on with the retoration on my return.
