Superb work Ben, not sure if I asked before but can you MOT it while it's with you.

 

As it's 40years old it will be the last time a MOT is required.

You must love painting. The quality of finish looks superb. I can only acheive that with lots of polishing on my celly paintwork.

Sure thing John. I remembered ☺

Thanks for the compliament.
It's all in the prep. Once it was ready to go it took about 15 mins to paint not including flash off times between coats.

Cheers
Ben

The seats I have are in reasonable condition however I would love to get some new ones, but it's not as simple as that I think I would need new seat cushion and squab foam as well.

 

Do you still have some new front covers for sale?
