More plate-juggling progress in Panelcraft today:
The brakes have now been successfully bled and the spare wheels fitted to get the car off the lift.
In preparation for Mike decalling the car tomorrow Leigh has finish polished the exterior panels. Obviously the masking tape is there to protect seals & joints from attack by the buffing wheel. The car was steam cleaned afterwards to remove the residue but will not see polish before the decals have been applied.
Finally, Phil had the show wheels hung up in the booth and was hitting them with the silver basecoat (to be followed by a ceramic laquer topcoat).

Colin,
Looking good. Did you ever contact http://www.dmsb.de/automobil_motorrad.html?mid=28
as they can give you Wagenpass info on your chassis no. They don't have copies but they can tell you registered owners in Germany for the car. You might be able to confirm race team from what they tell you.
Worked for me.

Oh well, whatever floats Robin's boat .............
Look forward to seeing the green beastie in the flesh on Friday ! I hope you're going to change the steering wheel eventually, it looks really cheap and aftermarket (though may be "period correct" I suppose ........... ?)
