that is a nice garage mate

nice to hear the shell is solid, more so cos of the age

made start on engine bay aswell

 

A very good base to start with! Look forward to more updates!

.... are you going for a similar sort of standard as ian3dr's old one??

right through and all running gear etc powder coated but fuk if im getting on my back every week cleaning it

First of all, I want a Garage like that!


The car it self, looked in top con for an untouched shell, i can see this car becoming something rather special in the future



keep it up mate

 

looking very good rob.

Your shell will look like mine soon

 

I'll be keeping an eye on this

 

wow looks to be in awesome condition! wish mine was like that throughout!

 

Ive not seen many resto projects that are MINT before they are even started!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck

ive seen this car at combe a few times, it really is stunning

 

looks mint as it was.cant wait to see it when its done

 

Not a bad day today, got prop, gearbox off and all aux engine stuff off so ready to take it out tues when hoist comes,

Bloody gearbox heavy when u gota take it out on ur own







up on stands ready for suspension to be dropped



another van load, good job i got 3 garages one for the car & 2 for storage



new & old gearbox



the valuable bits all wrapped up safe

 

blimey you aint hanging about are you!!

dont suppose you've got a spare 3 door gearbox cradle??

 

Wow what a garage Lucky man, im tring to work on mine in a poxy single garage

 

Sorry ronnie i aint, ill keep an eye out though.


Chops, been wanting to do it for a while, and i was in same situation
only got a single at home, got another single for storage which is handy
but lucky to have the new unit where i work and my boss is cool with me using it

 

Allways handy Rob Would love to go through mine like that one day. The engine bay tidy up is a big enough project for me at the moment

 

still shocked to see it in bits

but the most shocking thing is just how organized everything is

 

Yea Paul they tell me in work i gota compulsive cleaning disorder

ive wrapped and boxed everything, spent Ł60 on plastic storage
boxs and got one for interior bits, engine bits, exterior body bits,
bling engine bits, hoses & pipework, and misc but at least i know
where everything will be when it goes back together.

 

 

 

'T4/GREYS/WI/AIR-AIR/L8&CLOSED LOOP/LOW COMP/400+'?????

bling engine bay?????

mint body?????




where does the restoration part come in

 

yea paul you got a point i suppose, and to be honest it prob wont
look any different when finished

 

this better be worth taking the car apart because it was a mint car and i know u look after it alot.

 

 

that's gonna look superb

 

got a bit more done tonight, engine out, dropped petrol
tank and rear beam, cheers stretch 4 the help

 

 

 

Respray for nothing eh mate!!!!!!! Don,t i even get a drink out of it
