A few bits done this week. Door locks fitted, I've painted the chrome ones black so not sure how successful this is going to be yet. This meant I could the fit the Door cards. New petrol tank at the ready with a bit of trail fitting, just a shame it will never be seen again. going to fill the chassis with waxoyl and get the petrol tank fitted properly tomorrow.

old Fords and welding, but its never a pain...its always worth while. ive always loved and wanted a p100...but i could never afford one and its unlikely when I'm in the position to get one i wont find one...you are doing some great work there, have you sprayed cars before? as from the pictures it don't look bad at all...mine looked curse word :/ how hard was it to make patterns for inner sills? i need to sort them on the sierra soon.

These P100's are class, I love driving mine about, its absolutely great for blezzing around the doors in. I would love to try a Cortina one. This is about as nice a one as i have ever seen anywhere! 147 MAXIMUM SCORE

Thanks again Guys, and I have 'assaulted' it with hammerite, the tank and chassis are painted with it.

A couple of bits done today. Petrol tank fully plumbed in, does it need that many ventilation pipes? and got the seat back in after lots of swearing at seat belt stalks.

Thanks Guys, it took me 8 years to do my Cortina but this one has been a bit quicker but not so thorough. Hopefully the back will be reunited with the front this weekend.

Great to see some more progress with it an as others have said allready your skills on the welding an painting. I used to see one in white with the proper truckmen hardtop fitted a few doors away from a mates house untill about 5 years ago or so when they moved. Haven't seen another since then.
All the best with it.
