Took me a moment Nick, was trying to think what those could have to do with Stan and Phil... Then it clicked!
They're the more important presidents after all. :thumbs:

The rears will be even more posh once I finish the details John, possibly this weekend or next. :wink:

We finally got round to doing some more work on Nellie today! We made the brake pipe link and got it fitted, so we can use off the shelf flexi brake hoses, we then connected the steering arm back up, put her wheel on and put her back on the ground! So the passenger side is now all ready for bleeding.
She then came out for some sunning and the dust blowing off of her whilst we swept the garage, then we turned her back around, jacked her up and now we just have the drivers side flexi bracket to make and bolt on, flexi brake pipe to fit, brake link pipe to make and fit, and then the drivers side will be ready to bleed!
She's getting there now!
