Sorry Mark, Can`t help myself!! :smile01:

Luke buffed the body with a light cutting compound which really glossed it up -



Then he taped up and painted the centre bonnet stripes -



Luke really gets excited with his work -



The hockey stripes were put on the next day but I will leave it to Mark to put up the completed photos although I can say the stripes took the car from looking really nice to "Wow! What a beauty".

Jeremy took the original carby to our carby repair specialist who diagnosed a crook power valve. Should be back on the car by now.

Rocket. :bolt:

Went to visit the Boss today. It was not in a position to take any pics today but the one below was taken on Thursday just after striping was completed.
