Well done Paul, it looks superb.

The final result faithfully represents the original car and is a credit to your hard work. The medici colour is interesting and it is very interesting to see it at long last away from the fluorescent lighting!

I have enjoyed your videos as 50 year old cars requiring restoration have fewer original parts through natural wear and tear or the case of my project, parts being parted out to other cars...

Part of the subject is simply to know which parts are missing; obviously this really means the small little shims, spacers and finishes that are rarely detailed in the handbooks (especially for the doors - my Lotus WSM is from 1974...and Mr Buckland does not give as much detail on the S2!
