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
