    Reece,
    Many thanks that's an excellent shot which shows clearly at least the color of the rear tin work from the rear seat area - this gives us a big starting point to how the inside of the car may look.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Greg are you going down the " Early " Morrari path, with Borrani Wire Wheels, or the later Flares and wide Steel Wheels ???

    Hi Roger,

    The guise this car will be recreated to is when the widened 15" Merc rims were fitted with Firestone rubber and the exhaust stacks came thru the hood, the car was numbered 172 and still red.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Hi Steve, Yep it's amazing what quality the old slides have, I've got some fantastic ones of Red Dawson (dad was a mate of his), Graham Hill, Jim Palmer, etc from that era, all never before seen, which I'm am looking forward to posting on this site when I can figure out the best way of doing it.......any guidance appreciated...Cheers, Reece.

    What guidance do you need Reece? You obviously posted one good one from a slide. How did you manage that?

    Send me a PM. Quality of branded slide film was generally very good indeed and if they have been stored properly, (ie out of direct light), they retain the colour. Even if the colour isn't perfect, it often isn't too difficult to improve it and it requires no specific skills.

    I think I've figured it out..I just had an issue sizing the last slide down so the site would accept it..just took a while for a novice....

    Hi Reece, if it's easier you can save them on a memory stick and post to me and I can create a dedicated thread for them as I've done with other collections here. Can't wait to see more.
