Body back on tomorrow and car will come back to home garage for another partial lift to finish painting and for re-assembly.

Fantastic! Someone should actually do this at SCH: a chassis refurb over the weekend. Or better, a chassis refurb competition. It would make a great show for us armchair restorers.

Absolutly brilliant - I am so tempted to buy another project, if anyone knows where one is going?

There's a quite tidy looking silver S1 on ebay, no bids and 2500 start last time I looked, no reserve. You know you want to!

There is another post on here today saying whether to sell an S or strip it so could be worth an enquiry.

Hi Chris - it does look good but not broken, you know what ebays like (all bidding in the last 10 mins) and I dont want one that was as broken as mine - outriggers are up my street - so I will start to keep my eyes peeled.

Glad to see your getting back to speed and the walnut approach wasnt recently needed.

Best Regards

Sean
