A hah, you backdated it to look like an early 289! The dipstick is a dead giveaway, I like it! Cheers, Dennis

I've had to put a hold on progress at the moment as I've just pulled the engine and gearbox out of my Porsche 356 for a rebuild which will be complete, hopefully, in time for our run down to France for the Classic Le Mans event. Anyway the last thing I managed to do last week was to install a minor rear crossmember to support the rear bodywork. When I got the car there was nothing there, it was just hanging. This was indicative of the majority of the car which was pretty much a junk heap when I got it. All I kept was the body and the two main chassis rails, everything else I have re-fabricated.
There were quite a few horror stories in this car a couple of which was the wiring that was a fire waiting to start and the minimal welding done by a child with a stick welder. There is more. I'm running coilovers at each end and although the running gear is basically old Jag stuff, it's now all poly bushed. Some Pics . . .

One thing worse than too many car projects is no project at all. Good luck.

I concur. A quick word about the pics. The first is the r/h body mount panel coming off the chassis. There wasn't one originally, the body was just 'resting' there. The second shows a small Girling master cylinder which operates an equally small Suzuki caliper on a machined disc which is the handbrake/emergency brake. I fitted this because the internal handbrakes on the Jag rear axle are just rubbish and never work well. The third pic is one of my headers leading to the outside pipes. This was a little sneaky job because after getting a shock over the price of stainless steel tube from my local hardware outlet, I came across farm dairy stainless tubing, just as good, all the bends I wanted and half the price - result.
