OMG!!
Just found this loose in the back of the file cabinet,
I had a bunch of these, not got a clue where they are now lol.
Serious amount of memories attached.

Steve,

The front looks great and so does the underside.
How far from completion are you?
Do you have the Elford bodykit to go on?

Thanks mate,
Was hoping to have it done before this summer, (need to paint roof and back end then refit the bits and bobs) but as we all know life has a habit of getting in the way, even though I am retired lol.
No I don’t have a bodykit for it, tbh I am not bothered as I love it as it is, maybe in the future if one comes up for sensible money.

Hi Steve,

Looking good, but it is the finish that counts.

Happy to say that I’m nearing the end of the resto journey, have to also say that I have really enjoyed most of the time spent on it….

Got around to polishing the spare rim, nice to see it dated Dec 1982 so all 5 are originals .

Great Job.
Are you leaving the side mouldings off?
