That's worked out well, very very nice.

Re-assembly, the real fun part!

[rhd racer]

That's stunning Stephen

Thanks everyone, it's going to be a long couple of weeks until it gets back home. But as it's been away for almost six months now I think I can just about hold out

Haven't done much this week as we're literally waiting for paint to dry. However I collected another small batch of parts from my local plater.



As you can see my door stays needed some love. The one fitted to the drivers door had worn the aluminium arm flat and therefore the door didn't stay put in any position. The rollers were also worn square. Thanks to 914Rubber for producing a repair kit for this.



I find putting together this little pieces so rewarding, even more when you find the original photos showing you how to put everything back together



All done, just need a bit of lubrication before fitting.

Nice.

[911hillclimber]

Indeed, love the way you bring the knackered back to perfect!
A LOT more patience than me...

[LMR]

Plated parts are a winner!

[911hillclimber]

Maybe, but finding one that will do small batches, and to loose nothing, is a very rare thing.
No chance round here, West Midlands only do production runs in my experience.

Still look good!

Graham. I use a company in Birmingham who are very happy to take small batches and so far from ten lots have not lost a thing.

[911hillclimber]

Can you pm that to me please?
Thanks,
Graham.

[PMNorris]

Wow. Beautiful

If I could give you the 'Paul Hollywood' handshake Stephen I would

[Bootsy]

Is that a euphemism for something rude?

Cheers Chief.

Never heard it called that before - but I'm out of touch with the lingo these days.

Finally back home where it belongs. I'd like to say incident free but unfortunately it had a bit of a bump in the trailer and has a car park ding type dent in the front offside flare. Annoying but it'll be fixed along with whatever scratches I'm surely going to put on it whilst rebuilding it.



And in the garage...



Still got the final buff to go yet, but looking great.





Obviously I wasted no time getting to work.
