Good work Carl, looking at Fuses after you said you got the alloys I knew they'd look right! She's looking good, keep up posted with the work as it takes place.

Hmmm, dunno where though Foggy! :wink: I see autoflatter was on over the bonnet though Carl! That must've been one nasty hail storm it was in to cause the dents, but I found you can miss them if you're not looking for them! I reckon if you really wanted, one of the mobile dent repair units could get them out easily enough, or a bonnet swap, but it's not rusty on the leading edge, so.........better the devil you know maybe. Looking good.

I'm not sure how rare they are, but I certainly havent seen many other 300s with them on! The bloke I got them from said he had been looking for them for ages, he finally got a set and decided he didnt actually need them!

TBH I'm not overly fussed about the body work not being totally perfect. It's eventually getting used for road rallies, so there seems little point in spending money making it look totally perfect. The wheels were a practical thing for the brake cooling, but it's an added bonus they look really good!!

And my Suzuki is cool!! :)
