Changed out the drivers door mirror as a friend had the perfect one for the car and it didn’t work on his oval window beetle race car.

An original Talbot Berlin Green Dot with just the right amount of wear and tear. Actually better view than the original as it has a slightly convex glass.

I also finally got my Avon CR6-ZZ’s mounted onto my original minilites too.

Image

Bolted the rears on just to take a look and decided to run it like that for a short while, mixed wheels :)

Image

This led up to a drive down to Boxengasse to film an episode of Niners Unplugged. Was a great experience and honestly humbling to
think Scruffy was even worthy. Huge thank you to Frank and Tom for making it happen and being great hosts.

Cars been out few times since but is currently tucked in the garage as I have a broken rib. Plenty of work still to do on it so when I’m able it will be lifted back up for next jobs to start.

Took it to January Scramble at Bicester Heritage where it seemed to be a popular photo just after I arrived…

One of the photographers photos seems to have got everywhere too

Porsche Post double page

And in Octane magazine
Image

Have found around 12 different shots online of the car with the sunrise behind it haha.

Anyway, that’s it for now. More changes to come….
