My overarching target for completion was based upon entering the 'Bay to Birdwood Classic' a well attended classic car run and show here in South Australia. http://www.baytobirdwood.com.au

As time went by, the actual entry date passed before I got the car back from paint so I conceded that I would not be entering this year. That being said, i am still trying to complete the car for Sunday 27th September- just because. I may be too late to enter but I want to feel like I could have if it wasn't for tiny administrative details like being too late to enter. I have put in a lot of hours, working till midnight most nights after my son goes to sleep and my wife hits the sack. I have reassembled the car except for the following ( it is easier to say what I am yet to do):

Realign the bonnet

Fit the various catches and buffers to the bonnet

Fit the upper waist moulding

Refit the horns

Refit the radiator and engine wiring loom where it crosses the engine compartment

Refit the headlights

Refit the indicator lights

Drop the new battery in and connect up

Change the engine, gearbox and rear diff oil

Flush the brakes / clutch and bleed

Change the coolant and flush

I also have a few mechanical tasks to do including:

Change the guibo

Change the driveshaft centre bearing

Rebuild and fettle the gearshift

Replace the rear gearbox mount

Replace a few exhaust mounts / hangers

I may put these off for a week or two ( my wife is visiting her parents in NSW for a week in October before I join her for a long weekend).

A few pictures of where I am up to

Bonnet insulation added (5mm closed cell EPDM rubber with Mylar cladding)

Interior complete, all glass and seals refitted.
