Very good mate ....keep it up

That is fast becoming a nice tidy motor.

Nice colour as well.

Lawrence

Its fast emptying my wallet is what it is.

Funds from sale of Sport are already well spent! :shock:

Hopefully I'll MOT it and not need to touch it for a year!

One thing - the 31" tyres seem to rub on the front mud flaps - I might have to remove them.

Is this normal?

Normal, sort of, depending on what wheel offset you have and what tyres you have.

My Jupiter's didn't rub, but the Goodyears' did - I removed the factory mud flaps and discreetly removed the return lip of the front valance.

Lawrence

I removed them.

New polished pics in the gallery.

was just looking at the new pics ....

you've done her (your fronty) very proud indeed

the only thing thats troubling me is .......when are you getting it plastered in mud :twisted:

Here's a "before and after" reply ....

Before...

After ...

Looking very good CJ, just goes to show what effect a bit of TLC can have even on an old car

Quick one though, how much did the shotblasting of your tank guard and front bashplate work out at?? They look very nice done out in red, heh :lol:

Tankguard was £15 to get blasted and primed, BAchplate was £10. Paint was spray on smooth red hammerite. I also used any old paint on the inside of both as you'll never see it. Did inside first then flipped them to do the visible red paint - spraying it through the holes to give the impression it is red on both sides.

About a tin of hammerite on each item, maybe a bit more, maybe 3 between them. Worth putting lots of thin-ish layers down.

Just been to see the new screen - it was put in while the car is at my mechanics - and it's a spotless job - no shards or errant sealant anywhere.

Hopefully get it back in a few days.

I'm considering putting up an itemised list of all purchases and jobs done - sound interesting? (if a little scary)

go for it ......it will give peeps an idea of what costs to expect

Great job CJ :wink:

looking pretty grand for a k reg

Got say it CJ that Fronty now looks stunning. You could go into business doing them up for punters that aint got a clue. Great job mate.

I still have not plucked up enough courage to itemise the restoration yet, but there are a few updates on the car.
