Looks great Nick worth all the effort.
Where did you get the wiper blades from.

Are you able to get the windscreen wipers to actually rest/end sweep on the glass or do they "park" on the trim/body?
Mine park on the trim and it shreds the rubbers and drives me just a little bit nuts. The wipers (just) stay within the windscreen, its tight at both swept ends but worse at the scuttle area. It stays off the paint by about a mm, and took a little fettling to get right! Looks great Nick worth all the effort.
Where did you get the wiper blades from. Thanks John, I got them from MMC.

Nick, you have what is, in my view, the most beautiful early Aero 8 I've ever seen.
WELL DONE... now all you have to do is enjoy driving it!

A bit of an update, at the bodyshop finally to sort the few niggles. A few pics from one of the workshops where the car has been stripped down, quite interesting to see the chassis and inner workings. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/NV0f0Ru.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/IjgBuDt.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nxElzMZ.jpg) Looks rather rat-rod at the moment! Once the paintwork is sorted, I have new leather beading, new lights, bolts, nuts, gaskets and all sorts to go back on - so should look nice and fresh.

Now's the time to check the front wishbones for cracks, and deal with any loose ball joints. Its so much easier without the wings on

I will have a look, but in theory they should be ok - I had all the wishbones checked not long ago Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine underneath. Best get out the ol polishing rag and join me for a day when the tonneau is sorted
