Looking good there fella.

What are the two remaining jobs by the way?

Maybe more than two, but the few jobs remaining are:
1.Replace the clutch slave cylinder.
2.Cure the gearbox leak at the propshaft end.
3.Fit some braided hoses (ordered on the group buy today).
4.Maybe fit a new interior carpet.
That's enough to be getting on with

Absolutely stunning!

You must have a very patient better half to let you spend so much time with a car
Little suggestion, if you are changing the slave cylinder you may as well change the master as well as it will become a weak point and start leaking as well.

I'm putting the master cylinder upgrade on that C3 in crystal palace sell, reduces pedal travel by 25% i'm told. The other half is very understanding, but then she's a photography nut and spends more money than I do

that looks fantastic, aren't you tempted to replace those BK's with genuine alpinas, I think the 8Js on the rear should give more useable power...
Regardless of that, I love it!

I would like to, but I had 16" borbet a's on it before and they look really small when I put them on for winter

There was a guy advertising on the zone. His Grandfather made them, he charged me 110 pounds for both posted, not cheap but they are handmade!
