Solid floors in the Spitfire! Picked up from the shop today with freshly welded floorpans (replacing the previous Tin Worm specials) & inner sills. One major step closer to street legality. 15 mile trip (with a ’95 insp. sticker – only in VT) also was the ’74 Spitfire’s first real road test in 21st century: managed it with just one seized brake caliper and a brief leak from the (otherwise useless) lame-duck heater on my shin. Gotta love the smell of brake pads and coolant in the morning…

New floorboards primed – waiting to paint body color and install new carpet. Watching the paint dry….
