Lightweight S2A 1968 Almost There!

[JacobConstable]

Hello everyone, jake here. for the past year and a half I've been working on my lightweight in my spare time. I just wanted to show you guys at what stage It's at. This is the first car I've ever restored and since I live in italy I have alot of trouble sourcing spare parts so I just ended up fixing the old ones in most cases or fabricating new parts where possible out of aluminium sheet metal. It's been great fun, and I feel like I've gained a bunch of knowledge and wouldnt mind doing up another one at a further date. anyway ill leave some photos of It here. Please bare in mind that I've had no help and it's all been done in my back garden. Ps the front indicators will be done properly when I manage to find orange glass or make some new ones, although they seem kinda complicated to make.

Ps. If it wasn't for you guys and this forum I would have been stuck ages ago. I can't thank you all enough.

Jacob you have done well plodding away relentlessly at some distance from sources of spares & making the best of what you have to hand. The important thing with these projects is do, as you have done, by doing the best you can whilst you have the opportunity rather than rushing too much & then wishing you had done better the first time.
