Default What a shame to break it

This car belonged to a friend of mine and over the last 5/6 years he has rebuilt this car and got to the last part and gave up

The underaide of the car / under bonnet has had a total repaint

Full engine rebuild ( done 1,000 miles )

Gearbox rebuild ( also 1,000 miles )

Everything new .

pollybushed everywhere

Not to everyones taste , but still looks good ,

All it needed to finish was the outside reapinting ,,he put the car on the road to run in the engine etc then was having it totaly repainted but lost interest and sold it to me

Shame to break it after all his hard work

Would be a shame to break that, looks like a lot of work has gone into it. Could sell it as an unfinished project

Come on you can hardly see any gold under the bonnet

IF I'd had the spare disposable cash I'd have it (but I don't )
