So after the indoors work and moving the MX5, I headed down to the garage.

A frw small time consuming jobs were waiting.

After unpacking al the stuff that came off the car in the first place, trying to find the fender brackcets I gve up.

Started to make some brackets, using some steel I had in my pile.

A pair needed of course.

Followed by a pair of radiator brackets, slightly more complex, but done soon enough.

Top of the radiator has rubber bungs to fit these holes.

Happy with that.

Decent remakes and functional.

Lets see what @nickwheeler has to say about them, he is the QC here.

While out there with the cutting disc, I decided to cut the numbers out too from the carcass of the donor, they will be welded onto the chassis later, just for the record.

Inbetween George the cat came down twice to check up on me.

Tomorrow I have the whole day to myself to carry on with the build.

Sally will be at work most of the day, starting at 06.00

Crappy job ehhh.
