So what's the plan? polish all the alloy, resto the wheels and keep the body original for a nice contrast

Hi Andy,

You read my mind lol

Cheers, Bram

Nice original scorcher and in lovely condition too should be an easy resto

As there are so many beautiful restored SS around, and hardly no original ones left. This one i am going to keep as close to original as i can get. So no polishing parts when not needed. Only thing rere i am going to use is the exhaustpipe (until i find a original one) and still looking for right mirror and wipers ofc
Some build pics

And the new tires


Cheers, Bram

Looking good

TBH my preference is to polish the brass, burnish the Mazak & polish/sand the aluminium bits as appropriate (so everything looks as factory fresh as possible), but keeping the patina so you have a car, though very clean & tidy, shows 30 years worth of age is equally valid - and not often done

I don't think I've ever had a car good enough to start with to have the choice though

Looking very nice What is your method for doing the raised letters in these tyres?

Hi Andy,

I used to do the lettering with a small nail and dip it into the white paint, which was good to do and good result. But then i got lazy and bought a white paint marker with a very small tip, very fast and easy you do tires in just 2 min or so . And result is the same.

Cheers, Bram

Very nice. I didn't know that it was some versions of the SS

Hey Bram, how did you get on with this? all finished? completed pic's please
