    These old jags were like pieces of art work, beautiful to gaze upon, What a wonderful restoration job you guys have done,I would love to drive this object of desire throughout the English countryside, I would relish every single moment of it, Loved these cars since I was a young boy back in the 60's. Still do today.

    Whilst I would have loved this to go on a LOT longer, THANK YOU for not playing inane music. pity you didn't get the sidelight red tell tales around the correct way :) I also see you did not replace both the clutch and brake pedal return springs, (a mistake I almost made) new ones keep the pedals level with each other.

    Lovely work one question why the back sitting high up front down? Have you fitted an adjustable suspension on the car ?

    New leaf springs usually take a few miles to settle in, however in this instance they didn't drop enough, so we adjusted the stack to lower the tension, but that was after the pictures were taken.

    @@envisionautomotive502 We acid dipped the shell. It's an immersive process and so it gets into every nook and cranny, however, the car does come out looking like a tea bag and you find there was rust where you didn't know to look! Just something to be aware of, acid dipping removes not only paint, rust and filler, but cabling (if it's left in) and lead, which can be a pain for cars of this era as lead was used as filler at the factory. It's not an issue per se, just something to be aware of when you come to rebuild.

    I liked everything other than the chromed engine, which looks hideous.
