Seat looks good mert.
Colour looks much better fresh than the faded ivy gold that was in my car.
Is there any tricks to making the the wiper motor quieter ?
Mine works fine but is real noisy. Are they all that noisy ?
I smell oranges !

It's a "restoration", not just a paint job! ;) Thanks!

That dedication is what makes my day. I work on these cars day in and day out, it can be uncomfortable and often thankless work but every now and then after you have folded your anciant old body into the most awful places you are blessed with the sight of something like that wiper assembly. It really gives you a lift and a reason for being there. Someone else cares too..

Great stuff. Very dark in those photos. Also like the Jag in the back.

The sad part is... I just looked at the OEM bolts to put the wiper back in and thought... "I should re-plate those"... it is a disease...
