A few little bits ordered. New badge set. New boot strut (as I'm fed up of hitting my head!) and new rear boot decal surround.

Would like to lower her a little more as well :).

Still trying to debate whether or not to do some paintwork, The body is really solid, but unfortunately the bonnet has some marks where it was used as a work bench, and a small dent in the wing. As the paint is original, its a really hard choice to make.

Is the wing dent small enough to be tackled by a dent man - the paintless dent repair people? I used one before with great results taking a fist-sized dent out of my front wheelarch where the missus hit the garage doorpost

This was the guy I used. He only lives 5 min from me but is mobile by motorbike as he does a lot of work for top end garages in Mayfair.  I'm sure there are many others though

A few little updates. Lowered her a little more, added things like new badges etc. Also starting to collect bits for an engine swap over winter. Plan to do a KR on 40's.

Just keeps getting better!  :cool:  

Out of curiosity how do you go about organising a set
of the original dealer number plates and dealer stickers for a particular car?

Hmmm they look good :wub:
