not got as far as fitting the seats yet. but the brackets and runners have all been stripped and re-painted ready for the day.
also awaiting fitting is the cleaned, stripped and re-painted petrol tank and the referbished wheels.

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere about polishing the horn ! but it's probably crude so I won't go there ! Looks good though. Reckon you'll be driving round before I get my Targa back on the road

have to confess that due to time restrictions,and our complete ignorence of how these things should be done, we are having to pay for a lot of the work to be done for us by experts. so it going to be expensive but at least at the end of it we should have a very good usable car (hopefully).
we are greatly enjoying the experience though and i can see us doing it again in the future.
