Kind of blue - - - -
with thanks to Miles Davies I might just have a name for the old dog. There are a few runs and the panels are not exactly up to Pebble Beach standards, in fact they're nowhere near, But, the old dog is all one colour at last. After bucket loads of pug and gallons of high build primer, most of which ended up on the garage floor and in my boots, it's looking something like a Porsche and not some also ran from the local banger races. Still lots to do, find some interior, fit the lights, buy a windscreen (not looking forward to that) fill it with gas and hope my tank welds don't leak - doubtful, hope I've connected all the wires to the right bits. And then there is the small matter of getting some official paperwork for it. I've no history, no import docs, no V5, nada. I do know however that originally it started it's miserable little life in San Antonio Texas which I don't think will be any help at all.
Now the most immediate problem is trying to post some pics on this infernal website. Here goes . . .
