Seriously?

Yes, as lovely as it looks that was my first thought. I doubt it has been inspected and deemed road worthy before it can be driven legally.

I'd be interested to know exactly what was done to the sills to strengthen them.

I must declare an interest in this. It is my son's car that he restored 14 years ago and now time to move on. It was a joint effort with him 'sometimes' taking notice of my advice! It taught us both a lot, him, mechanical and attention to detail and me, our father and son relationship.

Of all the things that the restoration involved there was only one scary moment. Having fitted the new hood, we then had to cut the hole in the mohair for the rear window. That first stab with a stanley knife was quite nerve wracking - first we cut a cross in the centre of the opening and then pinned it at 12,6,3 and 9 o'clock and then worked around to the corners. It took us a couple of minor adjustments to ensure there were no wrinkles. It will be intersting to see how it goes.
