Hello Steve nice to hear from you if you log back in soon
you should see some more progress it's coming along a treat

I haven't had the chance to get up to beccles to take any more photo's

The whole car is very solid we only found a hole in the passenger door

the rest of the car is in fantastic condition but i knew that when i bought it.

Good luck with the car hunting keep us posted

-do you know anything similar Alan?

..but I may have to build rather than buy... i'll give you a ring tomorrow to discuss...

Peter - sorry for hijacking(!) Your car is going to look amazing. It was definitely a good car, and always looked 'right' (something to do with stance, panel gaps etc.) The only downside was the colour (and the typical US paintjob), but now that it's back to Conda Green you've got yourself a stunning car. -I'm glad your ownership has developed into a real enthusiasm
..next time I see you hopefully I'll be in a 911 again...

Steve

Some more progress slowly but surely the paint work is looking fantastic.

That looks fantastic and one of my favourite colours.

Hope it comes together quick enough to have a few blasts before the winter.
