I would say that you have ended up with a unique car that captures the look and feel of the original.
So I think time will confirm that it was well worth the effort.
After all, I spent over 4 years trying to get my car on the road and it will never look like a multi million pound Ferrari.

I think you will be amazed at the finish a professional painter like
Jeff H could achieve.
So I look forward to seeing it in all its glory sometime in the future.
Good luck, Paul.

Lucky – My understanding is that it is Dan @ Old No.7 who will be making/selling the convertible.
Also best wishes for your wife’s recovery (based on your Le Mans thread ‘next door’).
