delivery update: Wind your neck in & dont be sending me messages that are as short/ blunt & accusing as the one above. Yes I have sent them & despite the fact that you paid for these 2 weeks ago, without your address how am I supposed to send them to you?!?! After contacting you & waitinng for over a week I got your address, on the 15th. I sent the parcel on the 16th. If you would check your emails the courier should be sending you updates.....

Cat is beginning to get jealous I've spent so much on it!

Fair

Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger..... mushroom mushroom!

Sounds good to me mate. Pm replied to..... Christ my car is getting some good treatment!

Rams - cheers for the manifold & pedal mate. V fast delivery & very pleasant to deal with.

Just what I was thinking... on both parts!! Good work Chris.... see you at Elsecar?

Groovy ill have them, out of interest what are you doing with your old wishbones? I fancy getting a set coated & rebushed (oooh errr) before removing mine...... Cheers Karl.

Yay!! :dance:

Karl, are the bushes genuine & unused? If so ill take them. Thanks, Chris.

I think early cars had body colour, late had brushed metal look and black are aftermarket..... may be wrong though.

I'm quite liking retro rides at the mo..... some great projects/ skills being shown off on there

winner, cheers mate.

is collection of these bits an option?

still in need of this?? I have 1... not mint but not far off

Jim, It sounds like we are in the same boat re: Storage, Ltd mileage, Lack of cleaning area at home, long winters with no C etc etc. I have felt the same a few times but then after having a good run the bug returns!! I too have been saving for paint for years, collecting new parts to go on etc & now its happening! Im now working on the car most weeks & loving it even though it is: a) costing a lot despite not even being driven and b) a bit daunting that it is in so many pieces & the end result is a good way off! Wait a few more weeks, pick a nice sunny day & enjoy. Doubts will dissapear quicker than the cobwebs out of the exhaust! RE insurance; bit of a learning curve that one.... mine varies from a few hundred PA to thousands (like when touring europe etc...) Running 2 cars is expensive...... selling a nice car that you "always wanted" may prove to be more so in the long run.

is there a cheaper material that will still offer a good upgrade?

the flat metal bit mate.....

ill take the 1st one provided spoiler brackets are sound, not cracked etc. Will call you after work mate (5ish). Chris.

I wouldnt mate.... Storm is just a trim spec at the end of the day, id never change the colour of mine because I think it ould loose some identity but you have refined yours & modernised it to be what looks a properly great car!! ps - if you want ill take your car, then when you have built the garage ill send my car down for you to work on. Sound good? :D
