Looks great Will. The paintwork looks superb...did it require much flatting and polishing to get that finish?

Thanks Matt
I polished the car after but the bonnet and boot needed flatting and polishing again, not sure why but it sorted it, a bring off mine is going to give it another polish as that’s his bag 🙂.

Looking forward to taking this one for a spin! Not sure how long I’ll be hanging on to these workshops as well so at least one of the dollies will have to move on shortly 😣

Great work Will - you've really turned this around quickly.

Sorry to read that you may not be keeping the workshops much longer. I hope all is ok.

Kind Regards

Tango will more then likely be for sale soon.
I’ll get the engine running and lightly run in, then there will be of bits to do to finish i.e.
head lining finished
fit the interior - carpet and seats, rest is in
Front and rear screen fitted as the head lining will need to be done first
Side stripes
Outer headlamp wires
