At the
closing of the year I am able to report some (though very slight) progress on the
restoration. I used the Christmas period holidays as an excuse to resume work
on the FHC. And I started where I left it earlier in the year; searching
through my spare parts to pick out the best ones and sort them for coating. Almost
finished the first batch, the parts that will be powder coated. Hopefully I'll
be able to drop these of early next year ...
Next to be
sorted are the parts that will be galvanised. I have made a start there with searching
and registering the easier parts, but there are a lot, mostly smaller, parts
that still need to be sorted. I decided to have a few spare coated too ...
Current schedule is to have all the parts coated in
the first quarter of 2017. This should enable me to start fitting parts to the car
in a short holiday scheduled at the end of May, early June. Hopefully I will be
able to fit the stripping in that period too. But that means doors, bonnet and
boot have to be fitted ...
