Thanks Chris.  Your car is looking very sharp. Hope to get on to your guages soon.
 My last paint before the paintshop takes over. Did the inside boot and roof. Roof is going to be a vinyl but still needs to be sealed. Will be a chance to see what the car would look like if  it was solid colour.

Thanks for looking and the great words of encouragment.
Friend came out and we got the car back on its feet . Used a friends trolley on the front and assembled the diff and leafsprings in the rear. Was told that my painting was good enough to do more , so I am. Did the enginebay and door jams. Previous paint was 4lt of a yellow that came with the car when I imported it. We tinted it to Top Banana. Today I purchased 4lt of Dupont that was mixed to the formula and used that in the bay. New paint is what you will see, old paint is doing hidden work protecting work areas.
