Well, here's mine...
Started out as Phil Toppin's My Little Pony which ran in Pro ET and looked fairly nice...

Then, after I bought it I made the mistake of saying that I always wanted a gasser and Phil introduced me to Joe Williams, who happened to have a straight tube axle, built by Langy, lying around in his garage and before I knew what was happening, my wallet was prised open and this happened.

Work has progressed slowly since then, mostly to do with rebuilding the crusty body, which is taking a huge amount of time, seems that every time you find and fix one rotted out part you find another one.

I'm in the process of completely rewiring the car as the loom was a real mix of anything and everything so it's looking like a bit of a jigsaw at the moment.
Hoping, money allowing that I can debut at Wheels Day next year..

A rather large hole where there used to be a floor

Thanks mate,
There's q long way to go yet...
Still got to figure out how to bring the engine back to life after sitting around for about 4 years, and work out the valve lash procedure.
But at least there some sun around now so I can actyually feel the ends of my finger in the lockup... :-)
