Thanks everyone for the comments.
The car was restored at the same time as Jen's Bel and AVWPC do a great job. However like most projects, it started small and ended up bigger
than....hence the 18 months. Still not finished as I am having a bit of problem with front door trims I purchased from the US - as per my post re BFY

Thanks for the photos Jen. They bring back some great memories. I still can't believe that the project is almost over although God knows when the
door trims will arrive.
Looking forward to hitting the road with or without door trims!
It was ironic that the day Bert goes home he had to leave Bel behind - hope she is home now.
