It been a while since I have updated progress on the Black Sheila.

The past couple of months I have been extremely busy sorting out personal matters, career change and and and and..... nevertheless I think it I was time to update, the progress has been slow very little has happened  in the last few months, .

I did manage to upholster the dash with new vinyl as shown below.

My my mechanic friend... Armand has done some very nice mods to the engine bay which will definitely compliment the replica 356 Engine. With the rear seat upgrade and other additions the engine bay was out of place we threw a couple of ideas together which will help improve the horrible engine bay, Armand decided it was best to clad the engine bay with new steel cladding,  the old Stainless steel cladding and fiberglass was removed a frame was constructed to support the external oil cooler and fire suppression kit this frame will also support the original 356 steel bumpers, paper templates were cut out and fabrication commenced. The steel cladding will be painted stone chip black to replicate the early 356 engine bay. Progress thus far .....
