Gregg, Great work and of course those Bezels are rare! You are correct as well the material they made them from is crap. Mine were bubbly when I bought the car in the 60's and they still are, no rust of course just bubbly. Does annoy me but that is how they will stay. It would be nice to put the car...

Gregg, remember when we found out your car and my car, were both sold after AFN ordered them to JH Bartlett in 1959 and you advised the AFN ref number of 403, well I noticed today my AFN ref is 405. Both were Supers yours red mine blue. The first owner of mine was a 21 year old daughter of a Baronet...

This must be an exciting time for you, I hope it all goes together as planned.

Karl, That engine work you are doing is looking really good, I was surprised when I looked at page one of your thread you started all this work on the 356 10 years ago. I could see I was following your progress right back to the start! Its amazing just how fast those 10 years have gone or is it just...

My 59 car had the factory underseal on the floors and wings when I bought it 54 years ago. It seemed fine till I started some welding in the mid 70's. The problems did not really show on the flat services on the floor but in corners or area's that just looked like rust traps. I then scrapped off all...

Karl looks like you are doing a great job. And that compression tool really looks professional.

Looking really good !

I bought my factory 356A workshop manual and the supplement manual for 58 /59 cars from AFN in 1969. I paid £5- for both brand new. They both have full full red thick card covers and ring binder action. It was the best £5-00 I have spent on the car. Elfrink book has a lot but the factory one has so ...

As Bootsy says its going to look great Greg!

Very nice photos as well Karl. I must say those dowel pins clearance issue has me thinking is that correct? The 0.2mm oversize you mentioned seems excessive to allow dowel pins to be forced in. Did you mean to write 0.02mm oversize on the bore size?

Greg, A lot of work carried out now on your car some of it not easy work at all. Tell me were the rear suspension shock absorber top mountings in sound condition under the rear wings? You had the interior side panels cut out and replaced with new metal what did the mountings look like okay I presume...
