Torrential rain washed out the morning, but the weather picked up in the afternoon. I emptied 4 gallons of water out of the covers on the body before peeling them back and getting the sun on the shell for the first time in several months. With thanks to Leon, Jon, Tom & Rob we got the shell lifted onto the chassis. I've checked and all looks good. I have trial fitted it before but not with the engine, gearbox, heater, fuel pump and other bits fitted, so there was a lot to check. All looks OK, there's a small 'conflict' with the position of the fan's thermostatic switch, but this is easy to solve. Next job is to test the clutch & hydraulic lines before I make the final fit of the body, hopefully next weekend. In the meantime I'm going to have sort out the grass where the shell stood...
