Yeah, that’s just tin shed life. Short of sealing up every crack (and thus creating a hot box, unless you want to run an aircon 24/7) dust is just par for the course. A jet wash and a good wax will have it looking mint.
@@MrLurchsThings Cheers mate, and I’m pleased to have surprised you. 😄 The old 355 has always been the plan. Want to keep it all as ‘factory’ as possible. A healthy 355 makes a cracking cruiser. People get all butt hurt when they see it dirty, damn impossible to keep them clean in sheds as you know by the sounds. It will be getting a better place to stay parked up in the next few months all going to plan. Thanks for watching mate, I appreciate it.
@@mikevanblommestein5726 Cheers mate. No plans on changing the exterior, might get a different set of rims but that’s about it. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
@@d.s.w7779 Hey mate. Damn, that sucks, hopefully you managed to get something else to park up in the shed. I’ve got a couple shoulda, coulda, didn’t car purchases that haunt me too. These are a nice car. I’ve had this one since 2010. Thanks for the feedback and watching the upload mate.

@@nunyabizzness6468 I’m pure style. Haha. Cheers mate. Certainly won’t be rushing it, it’s taken 13 years to get this far, the difference now is the wheels are finally turning on the project. Also have plenty of other content in between. Thanks for watching and subscribing mate.
@@PatinaGarage1 haha couple of trend setters we are, most comfy boots you can get in my opinion. 13 years? Hell i bet your chomping at the bit to get into it though?

@@nunyabizzness6468 They are the best boots. Haha. Chomping for sure. I know someone that just bought a clean shell for their own project, cost them 8k though.

@@darrenmartin4723 Cheers mate. The plan is to take the one out of the old motor on the stand beside the 355, hoping it will swap into the new one, if not I’ll go from there. Thanks for the help and tips mate. Complete novice and learning as I go with it so keep them coming. Cheers for watching.
@@t590-j3z Not a bad idea mate. Have always been told car covers scratch cars but an old sheet is probably light enough to get away with it. Thanks for watching.

Love it! But your right,not a barn find as we don’t have barns in Australia mate! We have sheds- so if anything it would be a shed find! Stupid American language
@@Tk-ou9ec Hey mate. Haha. Yes, you would be correct on that one. The whole barn find stuff annoys me so was having a slight dig at it. Thanks for watching mate, hope you got some enjoyment from the upload.
IMHO , the spoilers have to go back to the 80’s where they belong ! The bums on coupes are beautiful and are ruined by cheap fibreglass . And the front chin spoiler belongs at a carpark where they all catch and crack . Looking forward to the playlist 👁️👁️
@@badstimpy Hey mate. I know what you mean. The front and rear spoilers took a little to grow on me but I can’t imagine this car without them now. If they weren’t factory I’d have likely removed them at the beginning. Plenty of content to come on this car and others. Thanks for watching, it’s appreciated.

Nice coupe check the dowel in the cam is long enough for the mechanical fuel pump drive it can be short on vn type cams
