Thanks Mike I'll get some metal ones when the piggy bank has filled up a bit then, good to know either way before buying anything like that, cheers.

Hopefully it look alright if you squint!

I struggled with .6 and changed the liner, tip and wire all at the same time to .8 and found the results better, I'm also a novice.

I think I'm just trying to find jobs to avoid starting the paintwork!

Various ages of tatty trim it's gained over the last 60 years. http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-05/20170527_112815_zpsssaptzbu.jpg Old leather and vinyl removed, http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-05/20170527_115644_...

Painted and built up my bumper and all the ironwork, back of the new blade coated in hammerite, I can't decide if the old over riders are adding too much patina? I'll keep my eyes open for some better ones or maybe the new plastic chrome ones? http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mo...

I think blue, the green doesn't really work for me although I am a colour blind electrician,honestly!

It's a lovely view ahead isn't it, I like it at night with the clock illuminated

Thanks! :D Been out in it tonight, just got in, it was like a pair of comfy slippers after two years or more of not being on the road, it's used some water and the fuel gauge didn't register the fuel I've put in but I'm thinking the water just hadn't circulated after taking the hose off to fit the e...

After all this work the biggest difference has been cleaning the seats and fitting new bonnet anti rattle rubber pieces all round, new number plate bolts have solved all the rattles I've lived with for years!

Ok it's not period correct but it's tidy enough



Waiting on the dark green vinyl to cover the kidney pieces etc
