Wowee! Those shots of the painted floorpan could have been in the factory! No, thinking about, they didn't prepare to your standard.

So much (immaculately reproduced) new metal - when does a restoration become a replica?? Only joking!
to be fair probably 60% of its Italian steel !!!  anyway ive been training josh today in building "heritage shells"  [/quote I think Josh is a very lucky young man, I am jealous that he is being trained in what must be one of the darker black arts!!!! Andy |

now do you see why I'm taking more!!!! as the engine is stripped I thought it would be rude not to send the bots off and as my dad has a stripped gearbox those bolts may aswell go too, got a little panicy as the car for reshell was stripped so everything off this car is now on the other 1 , so I found a bucket of bolts and chucked a load of those in too for good measure, stripped a servo today so that can go , bargain though and great quality, most of the parts were in a terrible state a few need to be redone where there is serious corrosion which I will blast then send back but 99.99% of the stuff came back perfect, also for the money I could hardly complain !!!

I was over the moon with it all, busy gathering other parts and taking things to pieces ie wiper motor linkage, bonnet stay, wishbone nuts and bolts etc to send with the next batch, cant wait to put it together now, colour choice of the week is amaranto Montebello as I've not seen an S2 HF in this colour yet, all the other colours I actually like have already been done, all the other colours are rare and I feel for a reason

That sky blue I liked - the other would be a braver choice. The dark red especially with the yellow stripes is lovely...but would it then look like a "tribute" to the earlier HFs...?

There is a very nice 'baby blue' around at the moment on Citroen C3/4's which I've often thought might look good on a Fulvia. In the same vein as the old Iris Blue of the Frogeyes.
