In short - it looks perfect. It looks so good in fact, that it made me think of an oversized plastic model kit, waiting to be glued together. I could almost wheel the painted shell inside the house and leave it there as furniture. I also feel good about the fact that the car is back to it's birth colour. Just how the Jensen paintshop finished it (though with a fair bit more attention to fit and finish this time around!)
Oh, and I also picked up a nice Blaupunkt, which will be wired for iPod as well as radio. Couple of weeks and we'll start the re-assembly, before the nights draw in and the weather turns damp... fingers crossed for an Indian Summer, and a warm crispy dry Autumn this year!
In other news - my good friends around the corner just collected their new ES. This car was an un-seen ebay purchase, and it was only after winning the bid that we realised he'd bought it from the same guys who are doing the restoration work on my car! A completely different look and feel to the early cars, but wow it looks great!
