those nudge bars always seamed to cause more damage than they prevented!!

Is it just my sordid warped mind or does that number plate look silghtly offensive.

I think Jens' piccy was taken when Trevor had the car.

Not only do they damage the car - they also hurt my eyes

Hi Brian,

have a look at my answer to Pete, you can ask Trevor from the 59 registre

Nice car, hope you keep the original interior

Ok got it

and yes to the Jimmy comment too

yes jens i am keeping the same interior will give the seats to my trimmer and have them cleaned and what ever they do make them look like new. the car has only done 42,000 miles the dash has allready been done wonder if cilla would like it back when finished ps i have bought nudge bars but now not sure to put them, but i would like to put it as it was any sugestions?

That was not many miles, no wonder it looked so nice in Trevor,s pic

sounds good, that you are keeping & restoring the original leather

keep up the good work & the pictures coming.

PS, dont know what to advice, regarding the nudge bars ?
they are not my favorit WP item

I'm thinking 'into rear'
