That's a nice looking engine.
What do you use for polishing?

You have to get older, but you don't have to grow up!!!
Great build-up - nice to see proper work going into it to save and improve it.

decided it wanted a manual box, as i am on a budget, type 9 box 5 speed is to be used,as we all know these are narrow cars,and not much room with the daimler,so decided to widen 4".
i think it gives the front and rear windows better proportions

Lovely work going on, keep it up.
Who cares If It's glass or steel, It's still a hot rod.

o/s/r arch repairs.decided to put a little curve at the bottom,instead of going straight down,small changes make a difference i think..

made a new rear panel ,as it wasnt worth widening the oid one,my boy helped again,costs me one pound every time he helps on turn the bead roller handle..shrinker/stretcher came in handy with this one..
