I'm sure I'm over-thinking this, probably just better to wipe it down with solvent-diluted oil once a month while waiting.

But, found this reference http://www.npl.co.uk/upload/pdf/tempora ... ctives.pdf

and then settled on this product http://www.cortecvci.com/Products/single.php?code=10051

Any concerns come to mind?

I've used Duck oil in the past, its silicone free which is ideal if you plan to paint the car yourself.

Should be back home soon to continue the restoration after being in Africa for 2 over months.

Very nice collection there Brad. So do you have a favourite?

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:14 pm**

Always has a soft spot for GT6s.
Has it got any of the factory options like overdrive, rear seat, tints?

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:12 am**

Overdrive, tints & a set of triple dellortos to fit soon.
Rear seats have no place in a sports car

The Sprite is heavily modified & a lunatic, the GT6 more refined.

Agreed and completely useless too.

Thought i'd treat myself.

Not having a great deal of joy with this stuff.

maybe not got the timing for it right yet.[/img]

Bit of progress in the cold garage this afternoon, slowly getting used to the rust killer.

For some reason i have a lot of holes in the front wing & the usual Tiger badge holes have been brazed over.

Lastly, a diamond on holes at each rear wing, anyone know what they are for?

Perhaps the holes in the rear wings were for reversing lights like mine had on.

Thanks for the photo, i'll have a rake around in the carboard boxes & see if i have any reversing lights.

Can't find any reversing lights that suit that hole pattern.

A picture of todays progress, getting the hang of the rust killer now, it needs to go on wet & stay wet.

Bit more progress today, despite the garage being -3 degrees first thing this morning.

Heres the passengers side having the 4th coat of rust killer.

and afterwards the start of bare metal coming through.

Passengers side nearly getting done.

Wilbur,
some pics as you requested, may be an idea for you to start a Wilbur Tiger thread, we seem to be doing the same thing,

cheers
Brad

Just realised a bit of sanding paper is covering the bit you want to look at, i'll take another in the morning, its too cold to venture out now.
