So now all the wiring is complete as is the front suspension. She has sat back on her four wheels for the first time in 2 years a d the next major job is to rebuild the engine and couple it back to the gearbox. Hoping to do all this in the next four weeks and get it started soon after. I have booked it in for its trim in late March and I am hoping to be driving 860897 this summer. Can wait. Still got the job I a, looking forward to least which is fitting the door rubbers and making sure the doors fit as well as before. Had a few issues with door lock fitting but I hope I have solved that now
The next scheduled job is to fit the front windscreen. Now as I don't fit windscreens for a living and as the E Type is known to be , how shall we say, challenging to say the least, I am going to cheat and get in a professional to do the job. I have also now taken off the doors again. I know, why you ask? Well because the A post door seal retainers were not fitted when the car was painted and so they have to be riveted on and in any case to fit the seals themselves its going to be easier to do a proper job of it with the doors off. I should get the seal retainers back from the painters late this week and then can go about fitting them on and then the seals then the doors back on. If I am lucky I may have the doors built up as well with the next 10 days.
