It looks too good to bolt anything onto it. Amazing to think what it was like at its worst and now what it looks like.

By 'my old girl' I take it you're not referring to Mrs. M? :-)

Its has been a little while since I have updated this thread. I have only spent a little time on the car due to other things getting in the way.

I managed to spend a few days this week on her and have completed the wax oiling. Quite messy but satisfying knowing that it should prolong her life.

I won’t bore you with pics, other than its lovely to see the underside of the shell so perfect.

I have resisted the urge to add a bit of bling for a few weeks but finally the temptation proved too much

Hopefully I should be able to spend the next few weeks on her.

Some of the bling has the odd mark and scuff but I am thinking if I replace it all it will lose some of its character. Thanks for the kind comments.
