I like the attention to detail on this (And I admire, but disagree :rolleyes: , with your self restraint on the mods front)

 

A job well done.

It'll be a sad day when its finished in one way as its such a fantastic thread Martin. Not including the time spent, has it been an expensive resto? A yae or Nae would be sufficient as cost is often a private affair. Will she get a name? :cheers:

My Over riders are just either side of the number plate under the spotlamps.

Only real pic I have of the front is in the snow!!

 

Superb resto, I will look forward to seeing it. Are you going to the yat?

Are you going to put rim embellishers on those rather smart wheels?

Many thanks MrMacca, I have never added the cost up TBH and as I've been at it for 8 years now it's been a bit like having your new car on HP, but as you know I have done most (nearly all)of the work myself so that in it's self has kept costs down.

Trust me to look at the brochure with the over riders where I put them. :cheers: I might leave them there as I quite like them.

 

Yes I will be at the Yat Frankie. :rofl:

Yes Steve I have a brand new set of the 'chrome' rings to go on, I'm just too scared to take them out of the bags at the mo, which is a bit silly because those new over riders cost more. :rofl:

Yep there just some things you don't do when your restoring a car, keeping track of cost is one of them

 

This is an an immaculate job :cheers:

 

Well it well be when you move the overriders that is.................... :lol:

 

That's where they should be!
