Yes, but... no but... wait now!! Look at the nice new shocks!! :mrgreen:

Esme, you need to tell Jurgen that he needs to check that the pan halves I supplied have the right curvature in the front foot wells. The same ones that I supplied to Mechanicars for the T34 needed some modification. Don't know if the T316 panhalves differ from the T346, so I don't know if the panhalves will need slight modification.

I am surprised at the amount of rust at the front of the pan! :(

Rust? That's not rust. That's character. I you were looking at my notch from that angle, you would be seeing the roof of the car! :roll:

BTW, good luck with the resto. If Bobby is anything to go by, it's going to be a stunner.

OK, ok, ok, so here is a little update for all of those interested :lol:

The notch has made it onto the lift and the bumpers have been taken off and the brakes stripped :)
a few pics to see what is really happening, I must say that "NOTCH" was telling me this morning that she is feeling a little naked :lol:
Image

Image

Image

and the new back brakes, kindly sponsored by Ron, kinda found them in the front hood, right where he left them :)

Image

So now you can stop complaining, I can only do updates when things are happening :twisted:

More to follow next week :flash: And we are still not scared of anything, just having trouble finding a willing photographer to picture ME naked :mrgreen:
