Looking very good! Things start to get much better soon. Working with clean parts and putting things back together really makes it feel like you are going in the right direction.

What is your plan of attack regarding paint? It might be good to get some on before fitting too much of the suspension, or will it come off again? (the suspension not the paint lol)

I'm putting the bare minimum of suspension back on purely to allow mobility when getting it down the driveway haha. Waiting on a steering column to arrive as it's no- go until then.

Any thoughts on colour?

What was available in 1954?

Thinking if not returning to the iriginal black but staying within the original range of colours.

Thanks
