Assembly begins

Progress has been slow for the last couple of months since paint.  The shell was tucked away in a dry corner while work to finish a Dino 246GT took priority.  Now that's done, reassembly on my P1800 has begun, and what can I say ... New chrome against that ivory paint looks better than I could ever have imagined.  All doubts about this colour choice have now evaporated.  It looks beautiful.  

That's a New Old Stock grille surround, which wasn't cheap, but when offered such a rare piece you don't hesitate.  And the headlights - Lucas PL700s - aren't original spec, but are in period and look soooo cool.  I've got a good feeling about how this car is going to turn out.  Feast your eyes...
