After several months delay (read lack of motivation), Mary & I finally fitted the second vinyl roof this morning. :jump4joy:

Just a few more things to do and it will be ready for the road.

1. Fit a starter motor
2. Fit a battery
3. Adjust the sports exhaust.
4. Get the coachline stripes on.
5. Put the windscreen back in.
6. Refit the wipers & rear view mirror.
7. Fit the remainder of the badges & trim.

This is no.7 (not including the track Sprint). I think this will be my last Sprint resto. Looking to do something different, maybe a Stag?

Looking good.

Did you notice the differences between the early Sprints and the later ones?

The next one should be an 1850 auto.

Another quality sprint Mart and Mary. I know if you do another sprint a Brooklands Green one might tempt you. But whatever you decide to do next I would still watch your progress on the forum even if it was a Stag.

Having seen VHK in the flesh and happily looked after SFB for a while now I'd find it hard to choose between them.

They both really are stunning.

I also had a look at and drive of PUS recently. I do like sapphire...

That is beautiful! Don't give up restoring Dolomites though, just give it a rest for a while... You should definitely restore a Stag though next, a nice early Stag... :wink:
