Quick up date on the wiper arms - do not, I repeat do not go down the tex arm swap route!

Seems like such an easy idea but has been massively problematical ending up with remaking the bottom of the Tex arms. it's not economically viable.

Stick with Roadsters solution of chroming the original arms and maybe adapting the end to a bayonet fit so you can fit retro wipers.

Of course we paint the inside of the bootlid! You have seen enough of our work now to know that?

I know how eager you were to do some work yourself so you could have some input.

Also "Is it ready yet, is it ready yet, is it ready yet?" did contribute a bit LOL:smile:

I never once said is it ready yet you cheeky fucker!

9 days refit post paint you asked for and 9 days you got - and you didn't have to fit the mouth/spots either :p

You did get much more extra than most (for free) so we ran out of time. Worth a try though

You can't fault the work done by Nubodi ! Everything takes time and bespoke cars are one of the most time consuming things of them all. I have around 1200 hours into my Triumph Roadster project and will need at least another 500 to finish it . 9 days goes by in the blink of an eye !

Thanks for the support Lucky
Me and Scott normally do this friendly banter via text but it spilled over to the forum. Its just a fun thing we do.
Thanks for reminding people though that we are limited in the time we have...I remember spending a year or two on one car!

Don't panic Mr Lucky it's all banter - doesn't work quite as well on forum! And he's nailed me on the Jack hole cover fitting - damn! Richard'll tell you I asked how much but he said no charge. Don't ask don't get :p
