Xmas/New Year Mid Wales drive 2019

No idea if this will appeal but myself and a few mates are looking at going for a drive Saturday 28th December. Something to blow the Xmas cobwebs off. 

Meeting in Llandovery again. Different route. Lunch somewhere along the coast maybe. Anyone interested? Photos from last outing.

Im using a local guy in Cheshire who did a fine job on my old Merc SL. He's done work for a few specialists so Im in good hands.

Ive stripped the car right down including the wings off. Both wings were it meets the scuttle and the scuttle itself need repairing, passenger side rear wing that sits under the sharkfin also needs a repair. Windows front and back need a little work but not what I expected tbh. Keeping track of fixing and parts ain't easy! All the metal supports etc I've had blasted and coated already, just the window frames to do, replace the felts and a few other parts to order. Hopefully she will be back on the road before Easter.

I've belatedly realised Ive timed the cams wrong (follwed the spec sheet but didn't realise I should have subtracted the 0.1 valve gap...doh!) so should have a few more ponies to play with when we next meet:)
