Default Before and after.

I know some of you will know the restoration of S544 AOX that I have been undertaking.

After this weekend completing the engine bay refresh / restoration I can now say the car is near enough complete apart from a few small details.

Here is the before and after beauty shots. Enjoy.

Fantastic job and the love the detailing of the engine compartment. Well done for getting it back on the road and saving this very rare example. You've made a great job of it and i am looking forward to seeing it.

Thumbs up Superb

Quite a brilliant job - so good to see.
Perhaps I have missed some of your notes but what about underbody and cavities corrosion protection to really make the car last. Have done this to all my cars.

Anyway , well done
