I recall my uncle filling his own tooth in his workshop about 75 years ago - goodness knows what he used as filler! Of course he wouldn't have had a Dremel to finish the job off.

When I went to Kenya on safari in 1991, one item I was advised to take was a tooth repair kit, so I'll have to have a look and see if there's any adhesive in that kit that is still in a drawer in my bedroom!

Hi Simon!
She looks marvellous!
Well done to you and to your team of 'helpers' - can't decide which I like most - the exterior or the interior 😄

Just coming back to this one so that I can get her MOT'd before the summer

Brakes filled with fluid , bled and ready to go plus some of the last bits of wiring. It is always delicate as to how to add "modern" bits to your classic without spoiling or damaging the original

I have gone with some very simple motor bike indicators (James Parry suggested the lights and has used them on other Aprilias) and made brackets that mount to the bumper irons. I may paint the chrome black, not sure yet - want to get it working first. However, when I rewired the car I added some extra wires and have added an earth to one of the wing mounting bolts

I'll dig the code out for you - I'm seeing Dog later so I can tell you the type of paint and manufacturer etc

Glad you like the colour - I love it !

Just realised that it has been quite a while since I recorded anything here !!

We still work full time ++ so little has been done on my projects for too long. My garage time is spent keeping the tractors, caterpillars, trailers, vineyard and market "classics" going , leaving little spare time for the toys. I use 50 yr old tractors, a 60 yr old caterpillar tractor and a mix of Appia/Ardea/Mini moke/Renault 4's as my everyday transport, so it's not all bad

However, back to the toys.

The Cabrio was never quite finished, so a few final details before re-registering in my name .....

First up was to make a new cover for the brake M/C - I copied the central plate, using a bead roller and then shrinker. Then I found some nice square sided , cylindre-shaped set screws for the clutch cover vented plate. These are the same as my S2 so I think that the style is correct (nobody sees it, but I know it's there !)

After that was fitting the other indicator and wiring up the headlamps. I used a blade fuse just whilst working on the electrics so as not to risk the more delicate  short fuse for the ancillary fusebox. Similarly, the red fuses will be replaced by more attractive black or white fuses

Next up are the rear lights and interior light and to find some windscreen wipers because those that I have are wrong

Let's hope that it doesn't take another year !
