All that glitters is chrome?

Well, after 2 months away, the badge backing for the front arrived back. Goodness, what a shock when I opened the parcel!

Because 326 had been stored with the nose poking out of the dutch barn, the badge backing was very rusted. So rusted, in fact, that when I rang around most re-chromers thought it too far gone.



However, as 326 has been carrying this around for all of its 58 years I didn't want to just find another one despite the fact that would have been the cheaper option. So, through a web search I found Bryan Purves Ltd down in West Sussex and he said he'd have a go. Here's the result - fantastic!! Just got to paint and seal the back of it and re-attach!
