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 ?

Thumbs up

That looks smart!

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

Cool

You have four Bristols?

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

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

Car looks great and polished section excellent .
All quiet with my cars - just occasional drives. Am doing up a house and that's consuming almost all my time at the moment.
Best wishes
Andrew

Hello all

Hope you are well

My woodworker has some spare time so time to start on the ash frame on the 405

does any one have templates of the frame so that he can replicate them and replace my rotten ash.


Does anyone know if SLJ or the Bristol Club have any templates ?

Please let me know !

Thanks all

Hesketh
