Default Got the S1 back home (lotsa piccies)

After a long wait and an extra two rooms on the garage I finally got the S1 back where she belongs!
I thought Id treat her to a dry clean and a blast with a photo session to finish.
Roll on the summer!

(unrestored original 32k)

Thanks for comments.
Immediate plans:
Remove dump valve
Replace or refurbish alloys (small kerbs on two)
Clean underside fully? Maybe...
..and thats about it, apart from that its more or less mint
I just want to keep it standard clean and enjoy it to the full.

Garage took 5ltrs of red floor paint and about 60 ltrs of white emulsion Looks stunning at night with the lights on and the white walls.
Trev, yep totally original apart from a bonnet paint sometime, current value I really dont know S1 prices have gone crazy lately, but its only worth what someone will pay I suppose
I will probably get it valued when I have sorted one or two bits on the list.

Cool mate.

(I painted my garage walls white & carpeted the floor for when my S2 was in it..now the S1 lives in there, it looks like I've colour co-ordinated the garage to the car..lol. But it is very bright in there as well ).

How are you going to do the underside btw? Just put it on a ramp & wrk from underneath??
