I have etch primer, plus 2x 400ml aerosols each of AC639 bleu lagune and AC333 jaune mimosa - there are localised repairs to be getting on with before the Dyane heads for the wilds of Herefordshire.

Will sort you out something on the paint saga. Other than that, not a great deal to report, due to ongoing plague-related house arrest. richardmorris 1 Link to post Share on other sites
chaseracer 20019 Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Today, between the rain showers, I rubbed down the very minor corrosion on the 'new' door, cleaned it off with some very stale super-unleaded, then panel-wiped and etch-primed.

chaseracer 20019 Posted Saturday at 04:54 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:54 PM More fettling and garage-sorting today, as the sun was shining and Spring appeared to have well and truly sprung. Among several forgotten treasures, I found a brand new Dyane speedo (six miles recorded) and these GS clocks... Stanky 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dollywobbler 41006 Posted Saturday at 10:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:21 PM That car was so much fun, but also so relaxing when you actually resisted the upper echalons of rev range. Very tempted to go that route myself, but I'm quite enjoying the 652 now Sparrow has sorted out the carb. Still not cheap, but then a 652 isn't cheap by the time Sparrow has built it properly, and I think I'd feel short-changed if I hadn't gone for the 720. As it is, I built the 652 myself, and Sparrow just sorted the carb, so I'm happy enough. Floatylight and chaseracer 2 Link to post Share on other sites
