Nice example of a great vintage buggy, thank you!

that would look cool painting the motor cover, like a big generator back there, on the rere, did not call for adding the seal tape, had left over and added it to cover

Nice car. You look to be collecting some nice cars. Thanks for sharing. The chassis on your car looks to have been sanded and polished, presumably to remove scratches as these never came with an under-tray to protect it. The factory finish for the countersunk turbo chassis was a sort of brownish gunmetal.

I thought turbo optima mid had platinum shocks

[@SidcupRC]

I think the SE might have? They were always available as an option house upgrade I believe. Cheers
