so close, yet so unfinished

The panel man extroadinare Vito didn't turn up for his weekly
hour's panel work so I made good use of the time drilling holes for the floor rails. The rails needed a bit of bending and fiddling to fit but overall it was a small win. Paint should be on within a fortnight (crosses fingers).

news from the shed
Vito put in another grand performance to get the little wasp to the verge of completion and aesthetic perfection. More sanding and hitting was had along with the placement of the front aftermarket glovebox and the big shiny floor rails.

Meanwhile, I've been rebuilding the front end and fiddling up the re-welded headset. Almost paint time, ugh.
