thats quite the stretch
provided the engine stuff works like it did when i pulled it apart then maybe, but unlikely
plus that means windows back in etc and i have no funds to buy atm, if i got it running with seat etc i could really risk it and just run with my bike helmet on as well.???

you have come a long way in a short space of time - as we all know most projects on this site take years not months to complete!

He might be copying my strategy of not posting pics of all of them until the car gets reassembled, so that when the time comes he can be all "I CAN HAZ TEH SHINY".
That stuff is the icing on the cake, love your work Greg.
