its looking great john, I hope the inners are ok. Love the smooth door look I think I has asked this before but your going to paint it French blue aren't you? Good luck the end is in sight Aaron

looking impressive John Will the car have le mans style head lights? Cheers aaron

Hi John, your car is looking really special now with the bonnet on, true craftsmanship. Re the tail gait and doors, are they steel skinned or Aluminium? Cheers Aaron

john that looks stunning

now that is a very good idea Aaron

I saw it on Facebook too john ;-) didn't realise it was for you. The bonnet is looking great, hope you get thev starter motor problem sorted.

I guess it could be, as it sound like John's car is going to be pretty dam quick

thanks pete, they are really quite different in appearance too, i think mine are type 14 based on these pictures but i will check to be sure. Any advice on Pads / discs? Aaron

Thanks Guys will have a look at the weekend now i know what i'm looking for :-)

Hi Guys, I am going to be changing my front pads and discs in the next few months on my herald 1200, they came up as an advisory on my MOT this time . Its a 1968 CV Herald 1200, and I think it came with discs rather than them being added my another owner, as they are listed on the heritage certificate. So how do I tell what type 12 / 14 they are? is there some obvious markings? The other question is what to replace them with? Do I just go standard or slightly more uprated, the car is just used for social trips and driving to work in the summer. Any recommendations? Thanks Aaron

It might just be me but "alleviatus" sounds a bit like something Harry Potter would say.

Hi John here is the new version. Casper I think your right about the Latin and the lumen route being wrong :-)

léger or allégé in French or in Latin.inluminata

Yes john just messing around with fonts and shapes. I like the Italian influence that had been suggested. Aaron

How about this?

Ah ha the difference in how "special" is viewed, I like "GT4 Lightweight" sounds very good to me

Its looking great John. Trivial question is your car going to have a name "The Bonnett Special" maybe? Aaron

another milestone would be starting the engine When is this in your schedule?

wow its really coming on at pace now, I'm very excited to see the body go on as I'm sure you are too Aaron

Hi John sounds interesting, I have been meaning to ask what the engine was going to be, I suspected a 4 Cylinder given the GT4 name, is it a 1500? Aaron

Looking good ;-)
