While waiting for the Speedlines

Post by Philip Chidlow »

(Well, actually while waiting to be able to afford to put decent rubber on them!), I refurbished the old trims that once belonged to 'ELF' and were given to Mulley some time ago. Thanks to his generosity (and a £10 donation to the BXagon in payment) I got them back

So, thanks to Mr. Mulley, some sandpaper, a can of primer and some aluminium paint: voila - original spec:

Ta very much.

There's some fairly urgent welding to do next month and then the fun starts with struts, arm bearings et al... But the car is a credit to Dave Saville, it's previous owner.

(Trims: They're wired onto the trim rings already but I think I'll tie the whole assembly to the wheels themselves too).

I can't believe this car, i've seen a few pic before, just goes to show distance travelled doesn't always equal degradation. A beauty!

even the driver's door has no hint of droop, it makes sense its been lavished with lashings of TLC over the years
