Well it took way longer than expected, had a host of issues finding parts and still a few smaller bits to sort and source but its finally made its way back to me, small snag list for the body shop to sort (drivers door and bonnet alignment) but overall I'm really happy. Now just need to sort a valuation and insurance, sadly I think I've missed the show season now
Seems to be a larger gap above the light on the drivers side in the photo, but its just the angle as not visible in the flesh, fog lights are sat next to me, all cleaned up but still need to re-coat the reflectors.
interior (all original) isn't as bad as it looks in the photos, not sure why it looks more faded in the pics, it does need a good vacuum though after turning on the blowers for the first time in many years :/

Hi,
Very nice indeed. I like the contrasting colours, and the rostyles finish the car off a treat.
All the best,
Andrew.

Well said . Got to be happy with the way it turned out. You don't need a show season to enjoy a car as good as this, just some sunshine & an empty road3 Litre Power wrote:Looks amazing

Thanks all, well its got fresh under seal and been heavily wax oiled so it will be enjoyed no matter what the weather brings She needs a few miles on her to give a shake down test as bar one week back in 97 she has been sat still since 1973.

Lovely, damn good effort. Particularly like the two tone colour.
