Here is a progress report on my 4gtl project
The rusty bits have been replaced with fresh metal and the car has been repainted in the original colour.
As you can see it is almost ready to take back on the road.
The new R5 carb and manifold have been fitted as has the 123 ignition system
and four new shocks
I still need to find a few clips for the plastic side trims I would have preferred to take them off but the metal on the doors was so thin I thought I would distort the good doors supplied by Pepper as I filled the holes so I took Derk's advice and left them on.
The front bumper and nudge bars are the original grey painted ones rechromed the rear is a NOS from Reims.
Thanks to Steve and Malcolm for advice along the way I expect I will need some more before long.
