The Restoration of my DHC has started

... black is good ...

At least someone who shares my lack of taste 😉
Wheels should be back within the next two or three weeks.
And the tyres (Yokohama A021-R, 185⁄70 R13) to go on arrived yesterday 😎

With the arrival of the new FHC plans have been revised slightly.
Although the black steels were only fitted a few months ago to the DHC they had to go ...

[Sorry, album link no longer available]

... in favour of the Wolfrace Turbo's that came with the FHC, which have been reconditioned over the past few weeks.
Together with new 185/70-13 tyres and a bit of bling added by re-chroming the special nuts and washers.



Only have to find (or make) some wheel centres ...

... Its a fine looking car whatever wheels you put on it - but the black suits it better, IMO.
Can I just ask what camera you use and if you use a filter? ...

Have to agree there a bit, but I always wanted a set of these Wolfrace wheels for the DHC ... (and see previous post 🙂)

As for the camera(s) most pictures of the driving events or while working on th ecars are shot with a Canon G1-X (shooting in RAW with camera set on manual or Av-1).
Compared to my other two (DSLR) camera it is rather compact and light. And gives very good quality pictures.
And I do have a calibrated Eizo photo-screen, and all photos are "developed" using CameraRAW and PS CS6, no filters used.

Did encounter a small problem during the 10CR, namely the original fan shroud didn't fit properly on the new radiator.
Decided to fabricate a new shroud that would envelop the fan completely making the fan more efficient and keep the engine bay a bit cleaner.

Finished a service of the car today, in preparation for the Taith O Amgylch Cymru.
A summary of the things I encountered;
Spark plugs which looked pretty good after nearly 24.000 kilometres;



A fuel filter that has seen some water pass through;



A new fuel pump because the one I fitted the day before last years 10CR also developed a leak;



And rather murky "running-in" gearbox oil, glad I decided on an oil change;
