Also had the wheels blasted and powder coated. Interestingly the date stamp on the inner part and outer part do not match, outer 2,58 inner 1,58

All the bits are back from the powder coaters now so will move onto the suspension next and get it back on its wheels before tackling the engine

Looks just great.
356's definitly growing on me.
Do the exhausts really come out of the rear bumper 'uprights'?
Mike: That drool button is the well-worn out one repaired a 1000 times because of cars like this (and yours!) on DDK.

Awesome James - I hadn't realised just how far on this had come.
Mrs Ian would like a 356 too, but I think I need to earn some serious money first!

Thanks for all the comments chaps 
Yes Graham, there were various configurations on 356s, some did some didnt, on the A they came straight through the overrider
