Paul, they look brand new, great score mate, this is going to be a really excellent restoration. Nice colour paintwork too. Hope to see it next year.
Cheers, Rob.

Hi,
Looks even better in proper daylight. Stunning in that colour.

Agreed. What a great job. This will be a mint/concours resto by the look of it.

Thanks Rob. This is my first one (and probably last). Never realised how much time was needed. It's not just the work itself but sourcing the parts is becoming more and more difficult. Will push on, can't wait to drive it.
