So, here's what's been done.
Chassis prepped.
Primed
and painted in French Blue, Triumph Colour code 126, as per original.
All front suspenion components have been reconditioned/painted, anything that is made of rubber has been changed and new wheel bearings installed in hubs.
And then bolted to chassis,
Diff complete with new output bearings and seals, rust treated and painted installed on Chassis
Body trolley built
Prinicples of leverage applied
with a couple of helpers
Giving a decent working height and the possibility to move the body in and out of the garage as required.
That's all the pics I have available for now, there's been progress since then (last photo is from 2 weekends ago) but nothing majorly obvious. The job of tidying up the body and welding on the last few brackets is pretty much done. Rear spring has been installed and a couple of brake unions mounted.
Motor, gearbox and propshaft are ready, just waiting rear suspension and a gearbox mount before they go in.
That's all for now, will post another update (in a couple of months probably knowing my schedule).

Wow! All is forgiven for not posting recently, but the big question is could it be ready to drive to Finland in 3 weeks time!!!
The chassis looks amazing with the front suspension on too.
Is Peggy helping?
I've been warned to be careful not to bolt her in between the body and the chassis.
Apparently she'd be worth 0.2 horsepower but excessive pawpad wear is a servicing issue....
Nice job. Will it be ready for driving until September?
