Cheers matey

my only problem now,well two problems, is the weather for painting up my doors................and the other is far more serious......my MOT man got sacked ........................so now i gotta find a decent MOT place..............................

Must admit tho with reference to the lights..............................................................i am having second thoughts as to if i should keep the rossi's with the cats eyes............or.................go for the 356 look............as in normal headlights with the grills over

With the setup i have now,i dont recall seeing any other ovals the same as it....

which once fitted made the ol girl look like this







and i took her out for her first full shakedown run today and...................................................................................................














she ran sweet as foooooooooooooooooooooook

the punters out every where luvved her,i couldnt even fill her with petrol cos so many folks were askin questions
which,if im honest, i was well chuffed with if a little embarrased

all i gotta do re-adjust one wiper and tighten my steering box up a wee bit

and paint the passenger door same as i did above with drivers door...and fit carpets


ive been thinkin about my engine build...............................................

if people and A|DMIN dont mind i will start another thread on that( for info for peeps) as i am gonna build it from scratch all on my lonesome
