So, I think the next update is really overdue!

As mentioned before, I turned my attention a bit to the back of the car..

My parcel shelf was really rusted:








So I removed it:




Which was the best decision judging the rust that was also hidden under it:






I fixed these issues (all pictures before final grinding):








Then I cleaned/blasted some parts:
Before:


After:


Oh, and because a restoration isn’t only about working on the car but also looking for the right parts and all the history around the car, here the latest arrival:
Guess what it is:


Yes the 60 only gearbox (thanks Mick!) that will be rebuilt:


Speaking of 60 only parts, also received (thanks Lee!) the water bottle and the horns with screw connectors:










Then I got this really rare 60 color chart:






Can’t wait to see those colors:




And I received the awesome decal from Jonas:


Stay tuned for the metal work on the parcel shelf J

Cheers

Antoine
