®evo03 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Sounds like the bizz, would be a shame to loose this thread if site was to crash, or just through time, it would be worth keeping all this effort with the history of the car, any of those quest shows always find any object with a history behind it more interesting, been looking into it myself, think there is an app, freeprints photobook, you can upload 6 pics per page 20 pages thats 120 pics and copy and paste insert text from here, nice to have it with the car as part of its history, all bound in one book.

I agree mate, that's a bad thought, as I've a lot of build threads on here. I'll look into that app. Some of the parts are pitted after having the rust blasted off of them. I could have replaced them with better ones, but I've chosen to stick with the original parts and live with some pitting visible after painting. I think it tells the story of the car sitting for 20 years on that drive way in Leeds and adds to its story. I hope I've made the right decision and it doesn't take anything away from the finished car ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Cracking job on those plated parts, love it 👍 2 hours ago, ANDY ABBOTT said: I hope I've made the right decision and it doesn't take anything away from the finished car ? Not at all, it's just the age of the car. The only other option was to go full on concours with new parts etc, but then it's not original. So it is better been original to fit with its story, as you say. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
