The latest project arrived from Andover, Hampshire this evening at just before 6:00pm. It's a very late Sprint from March 1981 and is Inca (colour code 94). It needs a new lower front panel (included) and the outer cills need looking at. Ther's a couple of small patches needed in the boot and a hole in the RH front wing, but apart from that, not too shabby. 1974 French Blue Sprint (slightly modified for some track day fun)  1999 Honda S2000��  �� http://www.dolomitesprint.com

Beans wrote: Here we go again I sometimes wonder if I am living up to my nickname. But anyway, I was getting bored so thought I'd restore another Sprint. We cracked on with VHK (after I'd stood around speaking with the neigbours for an hour or so) and we got on quite well. Once we'd removed all the spares from the car & stored them, we stripped off all the remaining trim. Windscreens were removed as well as the vinyl roof (that had been bugging me). Dashboard & steering wheel removed as were all the seats, carpets & seat belts. Unfortunately the paint stripper we ordered didn't arrive in time for the weekend so Mary couldn't start on the paint stripping.
