Great posts, nice to see how it's evolved

Nice car,
really enjoying what you are doing to it.

I actually liked the wheels painted in the reverse paint scheme,looked very unusual.

keep up the good work.

Thank you all for your comments. Hopefully we can get out to a few shows this year if things pick up. I must admit I got used to the reverse paint scheme pretty quickly but when they started to get tatty it was time to put it right

After the run in with the dog some bodywork was needed. A few other patches had started to let rust creep through and I wanted the shabby bits tidied up so it ended up a full respray job. It was worth it though.

Back on the standard steelies for transport while the Rostyles got some love

Now that the respray was complete the fresh wheels could go back on to complete the look. July 2020

No updates in a while so here's another photo dump. After the respray I took a spin up to the end of summer cruise in Portrush with a few friends, end of August 2020. The car went well and was the only Viva in attendance. In a sea of modern Golfs and BMW's the 70's machine seemed to be very well received.

Another outing at the Down Run September 2020 which I attend most years. It is organised by a local with all money raised going to charity.
