Re: My 1968 S1V8P6Bs Refreshtoration,Refurb work nearly finished
I'll do my best, I'm near Gloucester so it's only down the road. We seem to be having a debate with some friends about whether the weekend of the 14th/15th is "this weekend" or "next weekend" at the moment, we'll see who wins.

I wasn't, but that's a bloody good idea. I'll give it a go later.

Front done,just bonnet nose trim,V8 badge and wipe/wash bits to fit.
Rear done,just badges to fit!
Will do the roof in the morning,along with all interior trim that had to come out!
I am leaving the overriders off for now,to see how I like its looks without them!

It looks great without them, trust me. More so on a series one. I caught a reflection of mine in a shop window earlier and thought "Ooh, that loooks nice without the overriders".
Failed again on the Pub thing, by the way...

That is looking amazing... I have to be honest when I say that the beefy V8 needs the beefy overriders fitted! It's your car though so whatevver you say goes... :wink:

Roof and 1/4 panels all now on and screwed down.
A cuppa and a sarnie,then wash my hands thoroughly,find my white gloves,and I can start on fitting the headlining!

Got the rostyles and new Dunlop SP Sport 195/70x14 "thought they were 185's! :roll: ",out of their dark storage space,"The spare bog".!
Gave them a quick clean up,and the wheels will polish up great tomorrow,with a little touch in or 2 of matt black.
Now to try and find the triple plate Gorilla wheelnuts I got from the USA in the spare bedroom stash! :?

The only things left to do are fit the inner door trims,badges,and give it a good clean,and a coat of good quality polish/wax,which I will do at Shepton Mallet this weekend.
Still need to buy a few odd bits,and fixings like s/s screws,washers etc,to finish off the sills etc.
Anyone attending the show wanting to have a chat,will see my mobile number on the car!
If I am not about,call me,but I will be there for lunch,say 12-2!

As my facebook page says!
Cars come,cars go,what comes next,you never know!
I will be looking for projects to recomission,restore and sell on now as 3 keepers is really my limit!
Unless I buy a big barn in a small field,and live in a winnebago!
