This is the good side Work will start in October, I'll try to remember to post pictures at every opportunity.

Engine bay is lovely as you can see, so wont be touching that at all.

nice ! not too much work there .
I presume the radiator tops of the fastbacks are also brass ? should look cool if you remove the paint and shine up the brass ? Wish my engine bay was that neat, so much graft to remove everything and spraypaint in there.

Hey Hanley,
That countryside looks familiar - you must be somewhere between Lincoln and Cambridge.
Looks like you've got a solid car there.

The radiator tanks are usually brass - I have seen one polished, but it looks a bit odd if your used to seeing them black.

Spot on. This was taken in Chatteris (A142 Ely)

Regarding how solid the car is........I am absolutely over the moon, and the engine bay, It's better than my 10 year old Jag.
