Thanks, I think it's more the photo that has done that. Modern phones with their fancy tech.
The paint, whilst very good, is nowhere near that shiny.

Yesterday my wife and I took the Inter out to the National Motor Museum for their 'Rock n Roll Rendezvous' event. A day of classics cars, dance, and everything related. Great day was had.

Ex Telecom (?) Dodge behind you. I had one in red, which still had PMG on the doors.

Your Inter looks great.

Just a post of self-indulgence.

Me and the Inter have been carting around to a variety of car events and shows the past few months.
Here's a couple of photos taken by pros:

Churchill Meet May- cold and raining but still a good turnout.


Same meet a couple months earlier



In May I entered in the Roseworthy Show and Shine. It took out first prize in the category 'Best other' LOL.

You should be proud of your work Merrick, a great looking ride. Well done.
I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of photos to show how you've attached the tray side combings.
Enjoyed watching the progress.
cheers
Pierre :)

Merrick, the C series Ambulances came out with disc brake front ends. I had one years ago and the brakes were very good so it could be worth your while to keep an eye out if you are not happy with your brakes.

Thanks all, kind words.

Cheer for the suggestion Mike, however after replacing the master, slaves and hoses (this was the key - the rubber hoses were swelling up) the brakes are pretty good now.
