Thanks.

Sadly the painting didn't go to well. The neighbours cat decided to rub up against my car. Theirs now a red cat running round Tadley. I tryed to fix it by painting over it but it all went crappy and Iv run out for primer so cant repaint it so will have to wait until after castle combe now.

Looks like a great project you got going there, shame about the bodywork though as i do like that colour especially with the black wheels, and i know what you mean with the cats too, there a pain in the a**, when ever i clean mine the next morning its got paw prints all over the bonnet and roof!

Cheers. Yea I really like the colour as well. Its cinnabar red and thats quite a rare colour and I think the black wheels set it off a treat. Will be getting some 10"s soon but still in black. Cheers for the comment.

Well went to the Combe and of course when on a bit of a shopping spree. Bought a new rear valance a new front windscreen seal and a new heater cable. Had no money for any nice shiny bits but thought it was about time I got a few little bits so I can finish some jobs off.

Iv also got a Mk1 grill for free so that makes up for me not being able to buy any shiny stuff.

Thats about it for now.

Cheers.
