Wow, what a past week it has been.
I took this past week off work in a lst ditch attempt to have Mildred ready in time for RedCentre Nats, I can happily report, I welded the stainless steel exhaust tip on at about 10am Wednesday, with scrutineering on for 5pm Wednesday.
I also got a call from RCN people asking if I had a convertable that could be used toward the front of street cruise/parade an have a promo girl in passengers seat.
I reluctantly agreed (knowing I needed to do a few hours work on the Cobra to have it ready)
With 4 more 18hour shed days I managed a first start on Saturday mid arvo, First drive Sunday leaving fiddling, polishing, waxing (god, I am now a waxer) and adjusting to have her finished in time.
Engine bay isnt quiet finished in this pic, missing a hose or 2 and a few grommts. But it gives the general idea.
With no time for a leather retrim, I had a work mate sew some seat tops together (these are very popular in Japan) and di a good job of hiding the sunburnt rear sea top.
She also made the pillows for a bit of fun.
And here she is Wednesday morning, after a clean up and a single coat of wax.
Roof in the sun.
And at the show.
