Getting Closer

[anonymous-user]

V8M getting closer to being a running car.

New distributor, coil, leads and fuel pump on the way

Determined to get it as a reliable snag-free properly running car to the pre-80s.

Original wheels just back from refurb, think they'll look just dandy

They do look good, did they need any major work?

[anonymous-user]

Diamond cut and powder coat Jon. Very happy with the finished product.

Where's the damn thumbs up button, on here? Love that style of Wolfie, that'll look great!

Funny, that with the protective wrap, they look a lot like Arnfried's, on his M.

So, that's clear powdercoat, huh?

Best,
B.

Bernard,
They've been powder coated black and the front face has then been diamond cut

Excellent detail, your polished alloys Mr. S and, when the finished whole is available, it'll be the combination of all such details shown to-date that will mean a thorough, first-hand inspection should prove so interesting...

Well done indeed so far, indefatigability wins the day... something I keep telling myself on other projects too!

Shouldn't be long now Mr S. How's your "drain on resources" coming along

[anonymous-user]

The last 10% is making good progress, possibly only a week from turning the key and seeing how the old girl sounds

[GAjon]

Never mind getting closer and last 8.7895%, lets have some pics!

[anonymous-user]

I'll get some close of play today Jon

Bit of bling. Really please with the filler cap refurbishment. Its completely free of blemishes (despite what appear to be marks on the photo)

Looks very nice but i prefer the type like original that you can lock with a key. To stop a practical joker from putting something in the tank.

That is original Alan

Very nice. It's probably only when you've tackled a full restoration project that you can really appreciate how much pleasure a simple full cap can give! Well done, its a beautiful thing.

You've been there and captured exactly how I feel, thanks.

I feel your pleasure, believe me. Correct cigar lighterfor 68 vixen.........no no no no one would spend that amount on a cigar lighter, then dismantle it and re assemble the correct one from the parts of two....... for a cigar lighter.....would they?

And don't get me started on switches
