Back on the road!

[Noisy]

After many months of working on the car its finally getting to a place where I want it to be, we fitted the rebuilt engine (str8six) last month, the chassis has been cleaned and painted in a few places, rebuilt gearbox (CTS), new alloy rad (radtech) elite did the geo set up yesterday although it decided not to start once hot, so today fitted a M5 starter motor, now spins over much quicker.

Its gone from this



to this



although still has its old rad in that photo.

Hopefully it will be a little while before I have to get dirty on this one again, although will be trying to fit a hinged bonnet soon.

That's better!!

Hinged bonnet mod the best improvement for any Tuscan

[Noisy]

Well I scratched the front of the car trying to get in back on by myself, so will be hinging it before it gets painted (which won't happen until my bank balance recovers)

Nice work Paul, I like shiney

Looking fantastic, love the retro laptop too, class

[Noisy]

The laptop was a gift from a neighbour, handy to have one dedicated for the car though

[Robertjp]

I have one very similar

[Noisy]

I couldn't get my current one to work with it, so used to wheel out the PC, monitor etc on its trolley, used to get funny looks from the neighbours

Looks great Paul! Maybe time for a transparent bonnet?

Great to see it back on the road Paul, I promise you'll only get a little dirty when you put mine back together.

I did drive it to the shops with the bonnet recently, gets even more looks that way!

Notice I said hopefully won't be getting dirty on this one, Graham's is all but finished so means I can start putting yours back together soon.

Better start prepping the engine bay then.

I would have been a lot less work to borrow someone's photo, Terry, you best get busy cleaning and painting, or you could do what a local specialist did and say you painted it and then just not do it
