Thanks for your comments

Is off to paint this Thursday and should have it back in a month.

Subframes are done, next I'm going to start on the engine

Getting better every time you post up, again top work fella

Some great work going into this, can't wait to see the finished product.

A mate was trying to buy one of these the other day that was in a pretty bad way, came to a deal on price and was all set to pick it up. Day before collection the seller sends him a photo of it being hiab'd on to the top of a scrap pile. Some people's stupidity levels amaze me, he'd of only got a fraction of what my mate had agreed to pay for it.

Hornet is off for paint

Subframes are done waiting for shell

Started stripping the 1380 for a refresh and detail not going to far with it as I know the last owner. Just lap valves, head gasket,seals, clutch, repaint and detail. Going to try and make it more standard looking, the twin carbs and the noise of the straight cut box, should be the only give away of the 94bhp

Hornet is in primer




Engine is nearly done

[Mercdan68]

Another great bit of progress, by far my favourite resto on RR at the moment, thanks for sharing your progress, next instalment soon please! Atb Dan

One of the 1380 before it went In looking very stealthy with its original green paint could be mistaken for a 850 haha can't wait to hear that straght cut box again
