That looks great! Congrats on the completion.
Did you paint it yourself in the garage?

Nice to see a DHC back on the road.
Is that Inca yellow? If so I haven't seen it on a Wedge since my pal's long departed FHC Grinnall.

John and Andy,
great to see the car finished I know all the problems you have had. Looks good though. I will try and get over to see it in the flesh one weekend.

Hi again, yes it is Inca yellow and yes, I did paint it myself in the garage. It seems ages ago now though LOL.
It's always been my particular favourite colour. My son in law, Andy, who helped with the car wasn't sure at first, but the colour has now grown on him.
It probably looks better in the pics than it does in the flesh. Or maybe that's just me being picky about my own work. But, whatever, its another one saved and on the road .
Thanks again.
John

Well done.
Isn't it just the greatest feeling on earth, when after a large amount of work, you are finally driving them down the road again, or for the first time.
