TBH its not looking much different from previous pics , will post some when there is some more visible progress. Next job is getting roll bar made ,seat belt mounts done and body sides glued in place . After that the front suspension/hub PCD adaptors and tyres then body off , finish welding under body, finish weld chassis, finish rear suspension -------------- you get the idea!!

Well progress made , last night some of the folks from hot rod club gave me a hand to drop body onto my wheeled trolley so it can be moved out of the way while I work on finishing chassis. Not much done to Omega bits yet , working out exhaust front sections today.

Well dear hearts a lot has been done , body back on chassis, brake pipes made and fuel line run sorted . Painted bulkhead both sides so now have pedal box and servo/cylinders fitted as well as ABS unit. Making rear clam doors at the moment and trying to get that sorted before I have to self isolate as going into hospital for my op that will lay me up for 2 or3 months .
Mostly body work when I do return , TBH getting fed up with welding and grinding at the moment .
Found VW beetle front drum brake hose fits rear callipers and Omega front hoses will work . Time to go and grind a bit more TTFN.

Good luck with your op and hope it works out well for you!

Thanks , had the lower tailgate hinges cut out at last (took the blacksmith 2 weeks) and after spending an hour cleaning them up and shaping I managed to fit them and they work spot on . Might get some pics loaded when I am on 2 week self isolation .

Well a lot has been going on,  mostly sorting body work . ABS unit fitted, pedals and column in and things like inside floor painted. Managed to get my lads car moved out at the weekend and now have the Austin sat on the lift, rear suspension fitted yesterday . Started to fit the handbrake cable , now rear hubs have been fitted the other way round so cable has to run so the levers pull rear wards. Anyways took the rear discs off to check handbrake, its been stood for 20 years and its all free including adjusters!! Cable sorted , it was the perfect length to curve around rear suspension .

Well after a shit load of body work and painting just the bonnet and front valance left to paint , would post some pics but Imgar is being a bugger to load (they probably what me to pay for a service !) . Then its onto the build up, have to get some alloy TIG done , intake pipes and swirl pot/pump/gauge housing to fit tank.

So a load of jobs done, engine rebuilt and fitted, suspension sorted and just needs testing. Had to mod the floor to clear o/s down pipe, easier than altering the pipe. More pics soon when I get my act together or look on Rods&Sods in the garage section.
