How's this car coming along now days???
a little update...
i lost the storage space that HUA was hiding in so i was given very little notice that it had to move, i had no choice but to insure, MOT and tax it. This has prompted the spring clean. lots of chromed bolts are showing a breakdown of the plating and i've removed all of these and re-buffed them to asssess the chrome plating breakdown,
the same can be said of the chrome door locks, headlight bolts and a few others. The plan is to get another set of bolts and locks and have them all chromed as a replacement set, once they are on i'll get the orginals re done and have them as a spare set or put them on the black turbo. The bonnet stay has also been cleaned and polished to bring it back up.
header tank off, silicones cleaned, jubilee clips polished, tank buffed and re-fitted - the header will need to be re-done by a polisher with more grunt as my one is rubbish and doesn't generate enough heat or force.
ive found a company round the corner that provide shot blasting and the plan is to take the tie bars, bottom arms, rear beam and possible the gearbox off and get them blasted and powdercoated. i've also got some bearing topmounts from comp brake that i was going to put on the black one but given they are black, would look great on HUA.
The fearless brace that of got off Nick a few years ago and has been on the turbo may also be re-united with HUA.
I also have a collection of bilts to have re-flocked, B + C pillares, fues box cover, under trays

Good to see it being taken care of again. Is a truly stunning car.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
