Barber - This is my first self employed contractor role, so the ups & downs take a bit of getting used to.
Oddly enough, I am happier that the car was damaged during work that made it look better in the end.
As it would be a complete nightmare if after all the problems I then had to re-fit the lowering block!

Swifty - Thanks for sharing your experience.
I've ordered a new thermostat just incase and will have a proper look at this next time I'm working on the car.

Triumph Special - Cheers.
I liked how it looked 'before', but part of me knew it didn't look
quite right, as if a small (and invisible) elephant was sitting on the boot lid.
So I am very happy that by removing the lowering block, and switching to a "C" reg, the car's stance looks more period correct.
As for the wheels, I really like both
GaryH's approach…
And
Oxford's...
But one of the reason I got sucked into this whole build madness was finding a perfect donor car on ebay with brand new wheels and tyres.
So the donor car effectively dictated my style of wheels, and saved me the expense of getting some wire wheels too.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
