I recommend you specifically ask them to ensure water tighnesss around the servo etc when reassembling you can guess how I know this

Nice bonnet hinges the rest looks awesome too.

Opps!
I sent the car up earlier in the year to S&D for the underside and the bulkhead to be painted.
Str8six then did the mechanical rebuild, i will certainly check with them to see that everything is sealed appropriately, certainly don't want to damage the new carpets etc.

I'm sure your car had just left as mine arrived earlier in the year, i believe yours was the template for the bonnet mod if i'm not mistaken?

Thanks for the tip

That looks a reeeeeally fast colour Darren

Looking good Darren... I'm so interested in following this since I found out you're 1 ahead of me in the 'S' queue at S&D and mine is right behind (minus 2 cylinders but whats a litre between friends...)

Is that not yours under the sheet in the first Pic?
I didn't manage to get up to Blackpool last week, if i get chance this coming week i'll get some pics, failing that David is usually happy to take a few if you ask him.

Hm don't think so - scoop looks way too big on the bonnet!

[DJR 7]

I clearly had a senior moment! Looked again, noticed the roll over loops this time too!

Looking super nice Darren

[DJR 7]

Cheers longers,

It's got a way to go but it'll be ready for the trip 👍🏻

[GreenV8S]

I do like that hinge setup.

The struts work really well, no need for the bonnet stay.
