 ;)Hi Graham,
in reply to your question Graham, about 99% of the
chrome work has been done.
Who Painted It - Me  ;D with acrylic lacquer although
I am no spray painter I practiced a lot with the under-
coat  :D and it looks ok. Original colour levant green.
It was a big suprise to find no rust in her at all.
At the moment I am waiting for a boot rubber mat from
Victoria where I got my front & rear floor mats before.
The engine has been reconditioned, brakes & clutch all
new, conventional tyres 640 x 13 new.  Front suspension all new rubbers.  New shock absorbers.
Not Happy  :( with the job that the engine reconditons did  :( :( .A thousand other bits and peices to make it
good looking again 8) 8). And a big thanks to Craig in
getting the photos onto this notice board.
Regards Leon.

Actually, I'm not sure these photos do the car justice.  Leon brought it out for its inaugural club outing yesterday for the Blacktown Festival.

It looks terrific in the flesh (or metal).  Good on you, Leon, it's a credit to you.

Here's a pic from the run:
