More today, nearside driveshaft, brake disc shield, disc, both inner wing splash Shields on. Front bumper put together and now on. Car now started and without an exhaust it's a bit loud but very happy as it started instantly after I let the oil circulate round the engine

That's looking absolutely fantastic Jeff. A quick question for all you car restorers. Do you replace all nuts and bolts with new shiny ones for the benefit of looking better, or stick with the originals due to fun and games getting new ones the correct size, head shape etc?
Cheers,
Ian
