Don't forget to bring a drill because you will need to make the mounting holes a tad bit bigger. At least with the new plastic mounting clips I supplied the strips will NEVER fall off again. ;D ;D John |

thanks for all teh help from matt and everybody else tango is now in the garage we have wanted to repaint her ever since we were lucky enough to find her so she was damaged on the 13th of feb front end has now been replaced and the body is now a rather fetching shade of pink .
as we all know the proper pigment for the paint is no longer available so after a chat with the painter at work the damaged front panel was taken in for a colour match after 10 mins or so paint was mixed and its close very close and its enamel so it should never fade and will hardly ever need polishing [my kind of paint]
we will be posting some pics of accident damage so if you want to be some of the first to see her come to norwich on the 3 rd june
she will be finished

I was sorry to hear this news Lewis but glad she will now be properly repaired as I know you wanted rid of the fibreglas wings. |
