Got the proper seals for the top half of the doors now.. they close.
Replaced both 1/4 Window Seals. What a bitch.
Brakes are done, all bled.
Replaced the clips that hold the felt in the window.
Started running aftermarket 12 circuit wiring harness.
Dave dropped me off a steering wheel.
Glass is back in both doors, they are pretty much done.
Full interior kit from Aldridge arrived a few weeks ago, looks great. Still need headlining to go in, then will start putting glass back in.

The Anglia looks like it's turning out well, a real triumph for you

I hope that you don't spend much time under the car with only those cinder blocks between you and pain?

So witty!
Took me a while to straighten the grille yesterday, had to modify the mounting tabs to pull it nice and tight to the body.
The cinder blocks are insurance. 4 jack stands and the rear tires are on sitting on wheels.

It looks good to have the headliner in, I was too lazy to get mine done so I will be going naked.

I forgot to say, what are you doing for a slave cylinder?? It might be a good solution to the stock/original item??

On the MK 2 T/C arms use the 105E T/C stabilizer bush casings. They would need to be cut approx. 1/8" from the ends. Place a washer against the castellated nut. There should be only a few threads showing at the end of the stabilizer.

Thanks guys,
It cost $300 to get it done, they came out on their day off.
I'm very happy with the results.
The slave cylinder I have, took it off to paint the gearbox.. as you can see one of the previous owners has modified the gearbox for a different slave.. I'll inspect the other one closer to see what it's all about.
Pete, had another guy on 105Speed mention the bushes as well, thought he was talking about the washers that go on either side but your picture sparked my memory. Going to add to the list. I know exactly where these things are...

Neil, 105speed, mentioned the poly bush kit you can purchase from Milton for 74 pds., but on the hand, you already have the mk2 rubber bushings installed.
So easiest solution would be to use the 105E bush casings which works as a prefect sleeve and spacer. Just be careful not to take too much off the ends.
Start with cutting off 1/16" from both ends. Install and see if you need to grind off more. I finally cut 1/8" from each end.

Degreased and painted the gearbox. Steering is in now, The electrical is coming along.. Still wiring up the dash and rear lights and indicators.
Headliner went in today, took the man about 1.5 Hours. Not bad!

.
Is there a place to get the black trim that goes above the side windows in this photo for the headliner ?

Hmm.. Don't know anyone that actually sells reproduction ones. Gonna be a pain to track down.
Part #s are
7050956 and 7050957 Not that it makes a big difference.
Parts manual calls them headliner strips
