Looking fabulous! One to certainly look out for.

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

Many thanks have to go to you and Richard for your help with transporting parts!

Thought you may like to see a painting Chris Foggett did of car a few years ago before it got blown apart!

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
Cheers

I painted it bright red and with the help of my dad we put a rover V8 in it. louvred bonnet.A sod to stop as i done nothing with the brakes and the half shafts kept snapping as I had the standard rear end in it. Would love to know if it still exists, I think it went to Scotland, reg PGN899

Sounds like it was one very nice Zodiac. Well checked the DVLA website and registration still shows as a Ford with 3500 engine and red, last tax due in 1997 , May be tucked away in a lock up hopefully.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers

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.
