It's hard to tell the diference between the old and the new front panels !!
Must have very big tin worms in Lancashire, they certainly made a meal of it.
Got my fingers crossed for you, for the MOT on Thursday.

Be a bit canny when welding the bonnet, if you need access to the spring mechanism (unlikely I know) you'll be kippered if its all welded up!

The wheels look great, they look more like 14 or 15 inch. Are they standard minor fitment or have you upgrade to accept mgb / scimetar wheels. Let us know the size and hubs you use and how difficult they were to find. Cheers Richard.
