Hi Richard,
looking good, well done. It made we wonder when you were trying to join the tracks, if the engine was in, and obviously not at that time, maybe this was the problem, with a bit of weight now on the suspension the track ends may come closer together. regards, Richard

Managed to fit my repro folding cover yesterday, needs a flash over with paint but it's not to bad for a first effort .
  And my exhausts are coming along nicely.. Tacked together for a test fit.   Custom elbows made from stainless steel.

Richard, kudos to you on some excellent workmanship!
As I probably told you earlier when you first bought this carrier, I had driven past it many time wondering if it were for sale or even whether or not it was worth it to restore. Your vision in restoring this carrier should be example to all the naysayers out there that all too often pass up worthy vehicles as scrap or too much work. I suppose it is our being spoiled somewhat with vehicles that are usually a bit better to start with that guides us over here in Canada to turn our collective noses up in the face of such a challenge. Excellent my friend, excellent. I trust you will enjoy it for a long time.
