hey

resotoration is going well so far,the bumpers I bought in the UK,someone had two pairs left and sold them,
I think they look much better than the black rubber ones,(sorry for that!)80 's meet in september will be difficult,
next year is for sure,and there could two 3000s 's on the meet from Belgiumdrivingdriving

cheers

Andrew

been looking at your 3000 s,it looks in a real good shape,
think Bleu-zeeland(Frank)could use a picture how your chromed bumpers are put up
as he has trouble getting them ok,I can't be much help to him now as my car is not at my home to
be repainted,maybe it is best for me to check as well if bumpers fit ok before paint is put on,

cheers

Graham,
no powdercoat,sprayed a special primer to fil the small pits and then sand it after,
also to test my skills as a paint-man,hope the black will work as well as the primer,
powdercoat also has the problem off coatig to thick in some areas,not wanting to have trouble
putting the wishbones back,
what is the news on your TVR so far?
