Great work there Shane!

BTW, is that a gold 1600E that we can see in the background?

Nice work mate !!

Thanks guys!, yes Mike well spotted it is a 1600e, not mine thou, my mate's car

Finally got to sort the beading for the heater matrix pipes.

Found a place in or near Silverstone that do manual tube beaders for that size :

Some cool stuff on there when I had a look around..
Not quite the same as proper bead roller machine bead, but will do the job just as good I think.

Pipe pitting was worse on closer inspection and had some down the middle of the pipe aswell

Still had my original radiator, so got that refurbed. Came out lovely I think.. Blasted and painted the frame, re cored, and new brass tanks fitted. Nice to have parts looking new again to move the enthusiasm up a wee bit..

Got my springs back from re-powdercoating. The front ones are relatively new so were not bad just needing a freshen up.
The rears were original and looking very tired. So I got a brand new custom set made up.

I wanted to lower the rear slightly to make it more relative to the fronts. still keep the nose low rake as before, but not as pronounced..

Looking forward to eventually fitting them

Looking good mate !!!

Still to finish sorting out the rest of ignition loom wiring, (removing more scotch locks so it can get 'type' approval from nick )

And also Drop off loads more stuff to get blasted and looking nice again, the list grows. As one of our political parties said in the general election, alot done, more to do!

Great job, I’ve had an account with Earls in Silverstone for about 20 odd yrs, have loads of stuff off them.
