NEW CAR AGAIN.... 1956 Bristol 405 CHASSIS - 4106. 405GMT

[Raymond]

Sounds like fun, Geoff. I hope my MG TC will be like that. I have uprated everything including fitting a supercharger. I just hope the darn thing can stop!

(I have a totally new braking system with Alfin drums and a servo but proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say.)

Crikey - good for you.
I'd sort of presumed you might have tucked it away until springtime!

[hesketh786]

Thanks Andrew ! I thought i might as well get as much done !

[Nick Challacombe]

You have indeed had a busy time but must feel good to see the progress.
Carry on young man, you are doing brilliantly.

[hesketh786]

Dear Nick !

Hope you are well.

Thank you so much !

Yes, absolutely I cannot wait too see it all stripped down !

Going to be well worth it,

Thanks again

Thank you Andrew !

Hahhaha yes which one of the two ?!

Yes - been slaving away at it with every spare second I get !

I polished the front nose this evening - take a look at the results, i cannot wait for the whole car to look like that !

How are you Andrew, you and the motors keeping well ?

That looks smart!

If you have the courage to do it, then polish the whole car.! It will look more expensive than it is!

[hesketh786]

Hiya Raymond !

Hope you are keeping well.

Thank you very much ! I will be doing the whole car !
And my other 3 Bristols to match !
