Cheers Chris, just a few finishing bits left.

Talbot Berlin to fit, a paste based flat and polish and a few little paint bits and I think we're there ( for the time being!)

I appreciate it won't be to many people's taste but I suppose that's kind of what the whole outlaw/hot rod thing is all about - doing what you want!

Couldn't agree more. We are the maverick Porsche club afterall. Looks great Thomas. 8)

Seats look very cool. Looks like youve smashed the POB deadline. I hope your suitcase contents match the car!

Very nice, like that look. Steering wheel previously fitted to a SAAB?

Cheers

Yes, a Saab! As you know hunting down older 370mm Momos isn't easy but if you look off the beaten track there are some good wheels to be had. My want was basically a 370mm Momo with smooth leather - ideally with solid spokes.

I was going to sand it down and remove the three outlines on the spokes and respray in sating black but now fitted I quite like them.

Talbot Berlin now on, I was pleased with this purchase. Just the right amount of patina.

Cibie covers painted body colour, never dug them when black

Out of the workshop for some fresh air - just very last finishing bits and we are there
