Looks beautiful Ratty, your doing an amazing job.

I especially like the rear on shot, the trims and tail lights against the wet looking black paint looks killer 8)

Thanks for looking in and comments guys ,much appreciated . Newbee the whitewall tyres are just some second hand ones from the tyre shop just to get it rolling , must be old because they are hard as a rock . Two different brands one is Pirelli and other Michelin .

Looking very nice.

Have been busy whilst on holidays , pity that is now over . Still a heap of little jobs to do that soak up lots of time . Ride height is set although I anticipate it will drop a little bit more once it hits a few bumps and everything settles . Still waiting on a few shiny bits to return and a few other bits then hopefully back on the road

Top job, hope you have soaked it with rust proofing, you don't want to go through those panel repairs again 8) :D
If it has tits or wheels, you can expect trouble.

Yep all hang on panels and concealed areas soaked already and when it is finished it will go up on a hoist and inside all inspection and drain holes underneath will get the same . Shouldn’t rust again hopefully .

Beautiful looking car. Are the wheels staying as is, or caps/covers going on?
