TRIMMING OUT...

As I mentioned in several posts, there were a few electrical issues to be dealt with.  Thanks to my friend  and fellow English sports car enthusiast, Robert, we located and corrected all the malfunctions.  
Today, while John was buffing and polishing, I mounted the door handles.  Their design is simple and unique.








I also installed the lenses and chrome bezels for the park lights front and rear.  It is a great look, but, like everything else on this car, a bit difficult to attach...patience, patience, patience.













The hood, or bonnet, will be installed tomorrow and the interior carpet will be fitted on Friday.  The upholstered panels and seats are ready to be installed as well.

















The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December.  Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.

Y'all stay tuned...
Tom McCurry
