Vauxhall TT 1922

During a visit to Brookland museum, one of the reasons for going
was for Xanthus to choose an inspiration car to base his CK on.
Well after spending several hours looking around, with a few
possible we went to lunch and in the restraint, Xan saw it, the
red Vauxhall 1922 TT, as soon as he saw it he was hooked, the
twin scuttle humps, with all those gauges and dials! And then
there were those twin flutes down the bonnet, I took one look
and went how the heck we going to do that!!! 'Oh but Dad' was
the helpful reply.
Well we like a challenge! Honest! Really!
Ok having previously used the Stephenson method successfully we
choose to do the same, with one exception I got offered a crash
damaged moped that I couldn't turn down so the engine will be a
125cc single cylinder, rather than the usual GX200. And
hopefully I'll be able to strip one or two other parts off of
it, saving on costs.
Pictures to follow...

Right now for some construction photos, the plywood bonnet has
been interesting, forcing the ply to go from flat at the drivers
end to curved with a slight twist at the front, however it can
be done with the right persuasion and patience.
