Super detailed pictures :-) This car will look showroom (or better) new when finished, and a great testament to UK engineering :-)

Could a door handle look any better? And was it ever in doubt that Lime is the best colour?

Love these detail shots Paul, marvellous work Nick & co.

This is the best part (well my favourite) fitting new parts to a shiny shell.

I love it too. It's difficult to realise how long it can take to clean and paint 40 year old parts. Then they never look as good, and being that old, could be a failure point in the near future as the car starts being used again after, in this case, nearly 20 years.
