It's in desperate need of a wash, the wings painted and a new fuel pump relay, it's currently wired to a switch which although seems to work quite well I'm not sure if it'll pass an mot like that.

I haven't touched it in months but it started up fine and still runs great.

That is a lovely old thing compared to some of the shite you run.

Hey you want taxi bwana?

That is nice, that Merc.....if you left it unwashed long enough I reckon the wings would match anyway.

my friend who works on classic cars for a living came along and made up some bits and pieces. A far nicer looking job than I'd have done...

Some more progress on the Chevette, wing removed and a start made on the A-pillar repairs, a repair panel was made up for the battery tray then an outer panel was fabricated, after that another panel was welded in position, there's still a few more bits to be sorted before the wing goes back on.

The funny thing is, all that time spent making the panels similar to how it came out of the factory and nobody will ever see it when the wing goes back on...
