My 26T Coupe build thread

[Whiplash23T]

Heck Steve ,you must of purchased all the metalflake in the whole of England. And the green flake upholstery is just magic. I'm starting to think that you may have a fetish for flakey things. I do admire Sue's '29 RPU and a draw bar wouldn't look out of place on it for pulling all her luggage.. I do like the solid red colour too and where did you find that heater??? I drove an MGB roadster for a while and with the roof and side windows down and the heater on full it was very warm even on the worst winters day.

I have all colours in stock Whippy as i sell flake through the shop, yeah i used a fair bit on the roadster, its called Forest Lime. Its really difficult to photograph as it don't show up but shows better in video, heres a clip of it in full sun.






Sue's car is Porsche India Red (clear over base) its a shade variant of Guards Red.
I got the heater from U.S. ebay, havn't a clue what make as it came without tags, I have a collection of vintage heaters and probably have around 30 nowadays, Sue's heater is the only one of that type i've ever seen, it has a diecast body and i just polished it, she keeps it polished well as the shine can dull quite quickly.
My roadster has an Arvin i restored but i also installed a set of heated seat pads from a BMW in mine, It gets pretty nippy in england and i like to use my car as much as possible. Heres an early build shot of the heater
