Triumph Herald 12/50 restomod thread :)

Short first post on the progress of my Triumph so far...

From this...

Then thanks to this...

It went to this...

A bit of paint and polish it looked like this...

Then with the use of these...

Via a little bit of swearing here...

She now looks like this!

Let me know what you think! Plenty of plans in the pipeline too...

Parts are easy to get, try Rimmer brothers. A zetec has been fitted to a 13/60 over on retrorides. Pretty much everything has been under the bonnet of these over the years lol.

948 Coupe! Very nice! Bloody rare too!

Not much to update but went to a show in the Herald with some people from PHEA, was a very good show with a huge range of cars from a Carrera GT to Escorts to a Metro to a 575 SuperAmerica... Variety was brilliant.

Couple of pics of our stand

Thinking I could go lower? Back still needs doing but that can go down over 2.5''s yet. What you reckon?

Also have a new engine and box lined up, RS2k pinto and type 4.
