WOW! What else is there to say.
that is beautiful....you clearly are a master ....I’m sensing from you post it was a real B*stard?? the old man and I are in the middle of doing a TR3A ,and we are just get the 356 back to its former glory (won best 356 in australia two years running: 1990-1991).
:jaw::hail:
Fantastic stuff mate, excellent quality job. I take it that it was a nightmare though?
it was a mess, at one stage had been hit at the front, quater pannels were really badly dameged, one was full of lead. the car had been restored about 15yrs ago, i think it was done well but when the current owner bought it someone jut tarted it up for sale, filled up the sills with expanding foam and filler, put filler over all the rust, and then just filled the rest of the damage with filler, the car was a real mess. now however all the rust has been cut out and new bits made to fix it. lets just say there was 3 weeks of solid rubbing at the bonnet to get it right! alan its on the 12 oclock boat to scotland, then will be on its way to the newcastle area, so keep an eye out if ur that way!lol
Defo one of the most beautiful cars ever, My late father had one back in the 60s he paid about £1500 for it around a year old, a few years ago we were flicking through classic and sports car and it was for sale £37k!
I think I'd better put me chamois leather pants on...I keep going moist georgeous
i dont like them...they look nice but thats it... worked on & driven a few,i cant see the love for them. but hats off to you as youve done a excellent job lookin at those pics, i can appreciate the hard work,blood sweat & tears that went into it........well done mate :beer:
Without question the E type is the most beautiful car ever built! And yours is a prime example of why. Top class work bud nice one! (they are dog awfull to drive though)
i have to agree they are a pile of crap, they are built out of the worst material and put together really badly but they look good!, thanks for the comments alan
well now back in the hands of one extremely happy owner! next up is mk2 jag, austin a 35 van, or a midget!lol oh and plus a bettle and an old massy ferguson! wat fun i have infront of me alan
Go for the Jag, always loved the MK2. Could never get on with the facination with the E-Type, never liked the look (that said I am biased, I own a 1969 MGB GT!!). However a MK2 in the right colour is always a beauty.
I need some clean shorts now!! Fantastic motor, very nice job!
