Jared are those Cooper/S carbs or GTS carbs? Interesting air intakes too.

Checked with Abri, they're GTS carbs and GTS manifold.

I made some brackets up for the fibreglass bonnet so I can hopefully get the bonnet hinges to fit decently. Someone did me a favour and fitted them to the bonnet too :

Also, I'm thinking of using these spots - some cool Hella items that my dad used on one of his cars :

Are you ever going to put a motor in it and drive it? :-)

That's what I'm working towards at the moment. The plan was to always get the motor done last.

Been a little while and no progress. Haven't touched her at all, but I did place a MiniSpares order with the exchange rate taking a dip. Still need to get a clutch and sort out the carbs, then I can get somewhere with the motor. Also have an upgrade in store for the differential - waiting on this still.

At last, a very small bit of progress. I fitted the grille bar to the bonnet today with 5 small brackets. Still some work to do and see about the brackets touching on the body.
 
Looks decent :
