Arrival of the New Chassis

The new galvanized Series 2 chassis has arrived, built by Richards in the UK and imported by Rovers North. A long transatlantic voyage. Looks very good indeed, holes tapped, even has the suspension bushings installed! It'll stay on its frame until the underside is painted, after which it will come off the wooden frame and go right-side-up for the rest of the paint. It may look as if it's going to be very cozy in the garage, but there is actually ample room.

Also arriving today was the glazing putty, so will be able to install the new windscreens soon. Windscreen frame here is just propped up on the bulkhead,which accounts for its unusual angle....
