I set off to darkest Westmoreland at 5:30am today taking the chasssis down to the upholsterer's so the body could be mounted, allowing the doors, hood, seats and carpet to be completed.
A long day and long drive but I was delighted by progress and also that the colour is a reasonable match for that on the hidden parts of the original door I have...

Wow.. this is fantastic to see this Gordon England Cup being built... amazing energy that has been put into all.
It's a pleasure to be involved in it's this build. Looking forward to finishing off the metalwork for the car in the new year.
Well done Ruairidh.
Andrew.

There is a way to go yet Bill, but it would be very nice to have a "Cup race" at Guildtown - there are at least 6 that I know of up here...
Happy St Andrew's Day y'all!

Sounds like a plan!
Would be a good line up for guildtown.

Today I made finally a decision about whether I should build a mag. or coil engine for the Cup.
As the girls' mother is away galavanting for the weekend I was on child-sitting duties - I am saving the propane torch a s treat for tomorrow!

Nice vapour blasting on that crankcase!
Hope you are paying your apprentices properly!

They are feeding the stove with their efforts as I type...

A little more training and the girls will be making ash framework for the next project!
The car is looking lovely - great choice of colour and a superb fit to the fabric. What an exciting stage of the project, I can't wait to see it complete. Have you treated the timber at all? it looks completely bare.
Perhaps I should bring Amy's pedal car out of retirement for Guildtown.
