"THERE IS A SMALL FAULT" in the fascia top which is quite apparent in this pic.....Which we noticed after wards and fixed...CAN YOU PICK IT?????

I wanted to add some "shine" to the fascia....
So got all the "jewelry" to be fixed on the fascia and at surroundings was chromed...
See...

After showing you these couple of pics that how this "jewelry" is fitted on our fascia top...we will leave this "fascia" chapter for a while and jump to screen fitting...and will come back to it after wards for the sequence of your viewing pleasure.....
So here it is...

@spitfire
I have gone through all 231 pages today. And I am speechless. You have done a great job. I have never seen such a detailed restoration in my life.

@ansarghani....
You are right Ansar Bhai...I was talking about his "wave"...I did not notice before ..after fitting the chrome top...there was a gap...so did this part again...

spitfire (spitfire) 2010-11-04 02:17:08 +0500 #4613

Some thing like this.....
After some more filling /detailing....fixing the top material back in place....

Salamz Brothers....
well....I am thinking about doing something "unusual" in this thread...:D...
Day before yesterday...we took spitfire on the road for the first time after I think about 6/7 years....And I think,I should share these pics with you...
I am skipping about 400/500 pics of screen /molding fitting,complete/detailed electrical wiring,making interior...including seats...etc,etc for the time being and jumping to the current activity for your viewing pleasure....
I am also skipping some details,like want a good amount of chrome in the engine bay and some more detailing...but trying to make it road worthy to join the VCCCP trip to the Islamabad...
So ...took it on the road to see how it behaves...
SO MANY PICS...cant decide from where to start....
Ok lets start from tyres...
could not find white walled ones...

So decided to borrow from The Red one...
