Finally started my 280 xpack project.
I've been collecting genuine nos parts for this since early 1990 after seeing an E reg xpack 280 parked up in Southampton High St in the late 80's when I was at college and vowed then to own one, one day.

Here's a pic of my 3 280's together. I couldn't decide which one to do it too as they are all low mileage, but one had just started to show signs of rusting on the wing rails so that made my mind up as the wings needed to come off.




I've started stripping it to a bare shell and started sandblasting the engine bay ready for any welding repairs.





I'm really busy at work at the moment but hopefully going to get the wings off before xmas and the bay finished and then get it on the 360 spit to completely strip it back to bare metal to carry out any repairs before the body kit is trial fitted.
