Hi All,
Have been a bit slack in updating this project. Been a bit hot, etc, you know the excuses.
Anyway have had to rebuild the four doors. They are all done now, painted and fitted. Window bottom strip with the regulator "TEE" slot proved to be a problem. All were rusted out and could not get any deceint ones sooooo, had to make them. Also dismantled the window regulators, bored our the handle spindle pressing and inserted a brass top hat bush and silver soldered it in. Assembled the two halves and reamed them to suit the handle spindle. The spindles had little wear but the pressings were worn oval. Once finished, lubricated and assembled, they work "better" than new. The glass slides effortlessly up and down in the new bailley channel.
Anyway I will take some more photos and post them.
As 'they' say, the first 75% of a restoration takes 25% of the time, the remaining 25% takes .......

Hi Again,
Went out and took some more pictures. As you can see the doors are on but have the windscreen to go in yet.
Also some pictures of the engine compartment. The aircleaner says 170 but of course it is a 221.
