Me too which is why it might end up plain orange. Wouldn’t want to be accused of being a Wankel

top tint very nice, takes me back, used to get top tints fitted in my minis many moons ago

Just needs a Dwayne and Lucille script along the top

Dropped the crank off at the balanvers during a quiet period at work today.

Front end ironwork on



And back to playing with bodywork.

looking good, is that a new front section

 

[Oneball]

Yes. Ended up having to replace the front. At least two lots of accidents and bodged repairs in the original. I did salvage the left wheel arch line that was in about five bits.

Great progress being made here, looking forward to seeing it as it progresses

A bit of both. A lot of the Corvette bits from Corvette Kingdom in Norfolk. The race type stuff mainly the States or here, clutch and flywheel came from Holland.
