By the way... shipping costs have continued to cripple me...

Discovering that the Woodruff key was knackered (and on the critical path) I ordered one from MiniSport who wanted an eye-watering twenty-three Pounds to send it to Cyprus!

Yes, classic cars are outrageously priced here - they'd rather let them rot in a field than sell them for what they consider to be 'cheap'...

Where were you in Cyprus...?

I got some cleaner today to get all the excess wax off...

I'm away for a few days but when I get back, I'll clean her up and post some pics!

I hope to drive it eventually!

I painted the frames with a couple of coats of POR15 and wanted to give it a top coat or two - white Hammerite seemed an excellent idea at the time!
