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

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

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

Looking good - don't get that Bentley covered in too much muck!
Me still fettling Model A Special/Hot Rod and waiting for return of 410 from axle people - you seem to be making good progress - am presuming you've decided to go the Triumph route on engine front - it seems to be a relatively well worn path.....
Trust all well with you
Andrew

Is it moving away from you or towards you

!!
Wow - it's moved on a lot - hopefully not too many unexpected surprises.

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!

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 !

You have four Bristols?

No wonder they are getting rare...you have them all!!

(No worries...Bristols should always come in pairs!)
