I have also been back on the rivets, I have had the folding armour laser cut along with the joggle, just need to fire in the 5/16th rivets for the joggle.
    And finally queue shameless plug for rivet snaps.  A few sets have been made and sent around the globe :-)

Richard, so glad to see such progress.
I remember seeing your carier when it was but a forlorne mess sitting in Fergus Ontario Canada many years ago. What wonders you have done with it! It just goes to show what determination and perhaps a little craziness (madness to you Brits) can accomplish. Over this side of the pond most guys would not have even attempted a start such as yours. I often hear many guys complain about why they can or cannot or have not restored a vehicle. I have seen many vehicles built by back yard mechanics with little more than a gravel driveway and a few timbers and tarps to work under, let alone having the comforts of a full fledged repair facility. Kudos!

Of course. My engine woes are ongoing in that the costs to rebuild it are mounting.. replacing missing components coupled with the machine work to sort it out...

Nope not from me. I picked up an NOS pair, but just a pair, at an OMVA shows years ago
