So what is capacity of the 'smaller' fuel tank then? It looks pretty darn voluminous (££££££££'s) to me!

The workmanship that’s gone into your build is without doubt some of the finest. Seems almost a shame to put paint on it .
Very nicely done

Door locks/ catches have all been apart and sorted by pet and now work well. Looks like I have two types of locks, looked it up and it seems they did two types of locks in 1934, early/late type.
This is going to have a far better fit and finish than it left the factory with eighty-odd years ago! I'm sure it was at one of my first Gary's Picnic full weekends in the early '80s, three of us had gone in a mate's Pop, and when DH pulled up in the Coupe we all just stopped and gawped.
If you weren't already aware, originally the driver's door would only have been lockable via a small lever inside the car, and the key lock would have been on the passenger door only.
great car cant wait to see it again
Hiya,thats where I first saw car parked next to Terry Carpenters(I think) red 40 coupeQuote:
