Thanks lads, it really means a lot. None of this would have been possible without my good friend Andrew @ North East Auto Tech. I spend a lot of time working away and his work and assistance has been second to none. It definitely wouldn't be where it is today without him.
There has been many ups and downs wth this car, from storage to bodyshops, but I am feeling like I may finally have a car to enjoy next Summer.
Of course; the radiator was made by Joe Curtis at Fresh Reflections. It uses factory pins with one bolt to front panel. It drops low enough under the slam panel to allow good air flow to your trumpets. There's a few options with colours and necks etc. I think it's one of his 'off the shelf' items now.

Can't believe I've missed this one- it's coming on really well and there's some lovely attention to detail in there. Do you mind if I ask about the rad set up you have- what specific rad it is, the fan and brackets? Looks like it may sit under the slam panel? But it also has a header tank- all interesting to me… thanks for any details.

Wow that's some restoration, it's going to be painted and finished better than it was new!

Well what can I say? Well done!
I always wanted to start a project like that, but I am not quite there yet, need to get a space for it first
It is extremely satisfying to look at those pictures, but my partner does not understand the satisfaction

What are you doing with the heater hole as you don't seem to have a scuttle panel to stop all the fumes from the engine getting into the car if you put a heater in there?

I will likely blank off the blower opening. I didn't want to weld and remove it in case I ever wanted to put the scuttle back in and run the blower. Either a carbon or stainless plate.
