Changes

Just been looking through some of the snaps that have been taken of the car since I've had it and just thought I'd stick a couple down to show how much this car has changed visually since I picked it up.

It still amazes me how beneath all that dull oxidised paint was something so nice and the car literally changed colour after many hours of cutting and polishing. I know the first picture was taken on a dull day which makes it look even worse but it was a real transformation in the appeal of the car from almost a dull brown to a more vibrant shade . The top picture was taken on the day I picked the car up and had broken down on the journey home (I'm on the phone on the right hiding my head in shame). It was a big risk going for a Saffron coloured car but the images on the front of the Mark III sales brochure convinced me it was a great colour for this car and very of its time.

So dull but I hoped something great was lurking underneath



I don't think I was wrong

I haven't been working on the car lately just enjoying driving it when I can. I keep looking at the rear tailgate and I know I'll have to do some work on it sooner rather than later. Did a 100 mile round trip the other day when it was pretty hot and it got even hotter in the car. I noticed the gearbox also gets slightly harder to work as the car gets hotter as well.

Anyway here are a few pictures before I set out and little by little the car keeps improving.
