Hi Steve, just been looking at this car again - it looks pretty good to me, too good to sit wasting away in a garage anyway. Did you manage to get a fuel pump? I can help there or Glen has kits to refurbish, Rapiers obviously run in your families blood! has Kim made any progress with the silver or red ones he has?
Best Regards

David McKenna

hope you're makin good progress with your H120



Slowly but surely! Been taking various engine bay parts into work for blasting and painting and I've been re-fitting the interior, including stitching up the broken seams which has come out very well!

Still targeting early next year to be back on the road.

Not as such Jason - the crux of the situation is finding somewhere suitable to get her inside for the winter and get work underway on stripping her down for bodywork and new paint.The car could be made roadworthy in it's present condition with new clutch and brake hydraulics and some minor fettling - so that maybe the short term plan.The long term plan would be a full stripdown and repaint to get her back to how she was when restored back in 1989.Could be described as a relatively easy project compared to some.Maybe a car share is the way to goLoving your signature pic - any more pics like that you can put on here? - hope you're makin good progress with your H120
