Like everyone else I have spent the Easter holiday working on my car. I collected it (finally) from the paintshop on Thursday and have spent all weekend (in between cutting the lawn!!) putting things back on so it is actually starting to look more like a complete car. The only major hurdels to getting it back on the road are organising the chap who is doing the exhaust (he is just about to go on holiday for 2 weeks! Great!!) and the coachtrimmer who is going to do the hood. Oh and I still haven't got the steering wheel back, so it's still mole grips!! somehow I don't think it will pass the MOT with them on.

looking really nice ade, hope everyone else pulls there fingers out for you, nothing more frustating than waiting for others, i remember we gave the augusta interior to our local trimmer 6 months before we needed it, he told us 3 months, i questioned him and gave him the opportunity to back out if he didn't have time to do it but he insisted no problem, anyway the week before the turin centenary trip it still wasn't finished but he faithfully promised 2 weeks max  i was not happy as this was while we were in turin, anyway fair play he got it to us, 1.15 am the morning we were leaving i was finishing putting it in!! keep the pictures coming its great to see |

Stunning car Ade and terrific restoration. Will it be at the Sliding Pillar rally? Do hope so!
Was the LMC badge you snitched from under my nose on Ebay recently for this car?

My aim is to be at the Aurelia Lunch on the 10th May! not sure if it will have a hood by then though....hope it's not raining. So yes it WILL be on the Sliding Pillar.
Sorry Robin it wasn't me bidding for the LMC badge on ebay, I've already got one .... or two.....maybe three!!

More progress, spent most of Saturday sorting out the hood frame front cross member so it now fits properly and Sunday fitting the sound deadening to the front footwell along with the front footwell side panels. the one nearest the door had to be totally remade and has been covered in blue leather the other is alloy sheet, this has been covered in blue leatherette. Both these panels will be dyed in the same colour as the rest of the interior as can be seen in the photo of the rear seat. This is the original colour although the rear seats have not had their final coats of colour and sealant.

Wheels have now been painted, so will have the tyres fitted later this week, can't wait to get the scruffy wheels off the car!
I have also given the engine bay a steam clean to get rid of eight months of spray booth dust and grime, it looks alot better now, just have to repaint the radiator header tank.
My slot at the trimmers has arrived a week earlier than anticipated so it's off to get the hood made later this week, which means I won't be able to take it to the Aurelia Lunch. but it does mean it looks good for a debut at the the Sliding Pillar Rally.

I can't wait to see how the contrasting rims look on the car. Bernie Fisher was DESPERATE to do that on mine but I was never brave enough.

For David, here an example of contrasting rims.
What do you think?
