I am. The car will not be painted but mechanically, it will be done. I have my route planned and reservations made. I want that fleece jacket I'll post some more from the build tonight.

Excellent!

Sounds like when I drove the Brat to Carlisle in 2008 in much of a "work in progress" stage. It wasn't until 4 years later I think that I was able to drive it as a (somewhat) completed vehicle with one color of paint on it.

OK, let's see, what was next on my build?

It wasn't too long after I bought the car I pulled off the cladding and started prepping for my Cosworth arches.


Time to go


Drilling the rivets out


pulling the cladding off






20+ Years of dirt


Once I got the cladding off I started fitting the arches.

I had a few small fitment issues to deal with.




This how they fit in the bumper.


But, overall I'm happy with how they fit.
