Hi there, I have a question about the heatwrap you have used for the exhaust manifold, did you had any problems with that ?
Because some people are saying to me that it will crack and burst. I have bought the heatwrap from Autospecialists. Thanks in advance and a lovely car !

Looking forward to seeing it finished. Is this happening now or are we playing catch up with the pictures?
Did you not consider doing it yourself?
I assume you know the place that’s doing the work?

Have been waiting for more updates, she does look nice and shiny..
A quick question when you did your under floor restoration you used 3 coats of smoothrie how has that stood up to being used??
As a lot of people say it dries too hard and chips too easily etc etc, I thought I would as you as you have done it..

Alloys look really nice, and the paint work on the body looks deep enough to swim in..
