Going to see it tommorow to see whats been done and get an update on when its going to be finished so I can let the trimmers know as
its also getting the Webasto roof retrimmed.
Been cleaning and polishing bits of chrome from the windows tonight.
Hopefully it will be home soon, getting excited.

I've been to see the car today, looking good so far, doors, bonnet, rear hatch all painted just need polishing.
Car still in primmer as you car see.
Spot the Corrado in the background, having rear flared wheel arches fitted. There was also a Mk2 E-type Jag in there which had a engine fire so it looked a bit crispy. That will be and expensive repair.

Looking good! Don't forget to replace the rubbing strips down the sides, the MK1s don't look the same without them.

Thanks Ryan, Saw The Autocads car at Stanford hall but never really looked inside. Think I might be having a Black headlinner.
