So, yes - it made it to the Ragley Hall show on Sunday - It seemed to get a fair bit of interest - I even met someone who said he had one too!

my mechanic friend has now welded them alot stronger (hopefully) so with any luck they will stay on now. I got a part sand blasted the other day - guy charged me £5 to blast one part - it might be worth you shopping around for people that do this - the result was amazing!! |
Hi Paul. It looks like you had a good day out and that the weather was very kind to you. I hope it's as good for me this coming Sunday as it's the Jaguar Forum's drive out to the Grouse Whisky distillery in Crieff and I'll be going in my S Type XS. You are right about the cost of sand blasting. I have another place to ask for a price, hopefully he will be a bit more realistic than the others. If not, I may buy a blaster kit and some grit and have a go myself - but it is a really filthy job to do a complete chassis. It would also be useful to have for doing other bits on the Fiorano and my motorbike. Your car is looking good, did the paint finally dry out enough so you could give it a good rub down?:bounce::bounce:

Bloody nice looking car Paul.great colour too - really suits it.
Dave |
Cheers guys,
Yeah I did rub it down and repaint - it's better, but I think I'll need to do it another couple of times in the future to get it looking perfect. Yes I reckon a sandblasting kit might be the answer if you want a proper rust removal |
Classic Car
There was a dark green one for sale in last week's Classic Car Weekly, cheekily entered under Ferrari, priced at £14,995.
Great looking car in that dark red! Regards, Mick |

I know the light/camera settings makes a difference, but the car's colour looks great/period in this photo. :cool:

Looking really good Paul, I guess you have been doing a lot of T-cutting and polishing!:eusa_dance:
Cheers, Paul (A) |

Beautiful shots Paul.
Love that lowlight look on them. The one that sets off the red/burgundy paint is the killer capture though. Must be very satisfying taking them - and of your own car! Dave |

So I decided to try out a black grille - can't decide which I prefer - what do you guys think?
aluminium - [IMG]https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8353/2...0c37f20c_z.jpg1grille 2 by paul ward, on Flickr[/IMG] or black - https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8386/2...06a63c80_z.jpg1grille 1 by paul ward, on Flickr ? |
They are both neat, but I think the understated black looks much more 40s and 50s, and I'd opt for it for that reason.
Looks great. |
I like the "Egg crate".
