    The Capri wrap has lasted well. It's been on for a few years now and still looks fresh. The only problem areas are where the rust is bubbling through on the front wings and bonnet. But best of all the wrap is holding the car together and stops jt from falling apart

    Finally got around to re-building the Carb (something I've been meaning to do for ages), and the result was well worth it. Whilst I couldn't find anything wrong during the strip down, I cleaned it all up and used a wire paper clip to ensure all the passageways were clear of debris. Then using an overhaul kit I carefully re-assembled it all and the result is a much smoother running engine.

    The smallest amount of dirt can have a big effect on the carbs, just taking the jets out of mine and blowing them with compressed air made such a difference.

    Finally got around to labelling the dashboard. Hopefully now I'll stop pressing the starter when trying to open the roof

    Also vinyl wrapped one of the trim panels

    And there aren't enough logos on the car - so decided to add a couple more

    Logo positions look familiar 😂
    Looking really nice mate. It’s amazing how many logos there are out there to define the look.

    I copied it from the London car - but need to look at yours now for more inspiration

    Looks great, but why does the lights switch show "no|no"?

    I did the same and also managed to find the others they used next to the champion decals.
    My original intention was to copy that car, but then went more personal.
    Still think I may need one or two more on mine. We shall see .......

    No,no, these are daylight running lights - The "N O" stands for "Normally On"...
