Good afternoon guys and gals. Its been a while since I have posted anything, this is due to work commitments and a big house move - the car took a back seat so to speak! Once I was back on track the car came to the forefront of my mind again, so I have had plenty done! Where to start - well as some will know I have owned my 348 for 14 years and in this time I have tried to make it one of the best around. To give you an idea of how on/off my time is with my car due to life getting in the way, in 14 years it has covered 5k miles.
SO what is new, well I have had the targa roof re-trimmed to match the Creama seats, the "potato sack" original finish was not to my liking and from a lot of research I discovered from factory you could have upgraded to the finish I have gone for (pictures below)
A full suspension rebuild has taken place, all the original components were perishing due to being 26 years old! This has taken 3 months to complete (over 60 hours labour) but with sending parts off to be zinc plated or shot blasted etc time just gets away and all of a sudden its been off the road and out of MOT and TAX
So tomorrow is MOT day so I can TAX it and get back out on the road and try out the handling properly. Lets hope the weather holds out for one more weekend!!!
