Car now completed. I will be picking up tomorrow. This is from the Grandstand Coachworks open morning last week. Car complete with lazy passenger sun vizor (see wanted post). Lots of attention and always good to speak to people about rotary engines. Even though only about 50 people attended I still talked to 1 person who owned an FB back in the 80's and just said "you don't see these anymore".

Tracking to be checked on the way home and then car readied for a small show we have in our local park on Sunday.

Picked the car up today. First impressions are that the new suspension bushes and springs have certainly firmed things up and car felt much better.

Had a good detailed look over the bodywork in sunlight whilst cleaning when I got home, only wet day for ages, and very happy with the finish.

Have a local show on Sunday so hope to get some decent outside pictures.
