Nice update!
I spent the weekend reimagineing the heater box for the FC. The std S3 heater box fouled with the snub bonnet and radiator mounts. The original heat exchanger was used and heater fan was swung through 90 degrees. I'll run a 90 degree elbow and put a S3 air inlet in the side panel.
I'm of the old school for heater control. A simple plumbing gate valve, on in winter, off in summer.
Radiator expansion bottle also mounted up.
Small steps moving forward...

Had a quick 1 hour play this afternoon knocking up a replacement side panel. Wow, I surprise myself sometimes! A bit of massaging and it might just look ok. The original panels are pretty rough, so even with giving them a touch up here and there, its not going to be a factory new look.

Hi John.
Fully agree with you there. I build my vehicles to be used. I don't mind a scratch or dent or two in the name of fun.
I was more amazed with myself that a quick play with the folder got such a great result first up. The top & bottom edges are folded as well, which was fun around the small radius at the front.
Cheers Chris.

Partially fitted the remote brake booster up this afternoon. Ran the last brake line after this photo was taken. Hopefully only a few small adjustments and some saddles to fab up, then that's all done...

It's getting busy under that tiny bonnet! There's a brake booster, brake & clutch MCs, power steering reservoir, radiator with inlet should, windscreen washer bottle, intercooler, rad. expansion bottle, & heater box. Phew... Just about finished under there except for the electrics.
Now to remake the bonnet frame. I hope to salvage the shaped stiffeners off the original frame. Its going to take a heap of pushing and fiddling to get it all remotely square. Then again, it is a seriesl landy...

Nice work - all that stuff lives inside the cabin and foot wells in a 101 - would love to have a tiny bonnet.
