Thrown myself into this project it has been some 16years since i raced this car at the Birket relay race at sneterton we covered 240 laps during the 12hour race and i wore the poor thing out time for a rebuild.
It has taken a while to get back into gas welding but it is getting neater and quite therapeutic i am enjoying myself. it has surprised me how well the frame has stood up after some 60 years as the picture there are some fatigue cracks and some crash damage where a new piece of tube has been let in albeit 2" and the lower tubes are made of 1 7/8"why that size i have no idea i bout 5meters of tube years ago just incase.
Glad i did now.
