Summer didn't Happen , I have taken over control my self ( progress to slow)

Work so far , completely stripped to bare shell all the interior taken by hand back to bare metal repaired and treated.

A lot of the removed parts, overhauled and painted/plated ready for reassembly .

Fuel tank recreated (old one damaged during delivery)

Interior being completely reupholstered.

I think I have all parts needed to complete now last bit was the front bumper now waiting for delivery from US

I have had a period wiring harness made in the States ready to fit .

Radiators recored and painted.

The suspension / chassis needs to be realigned the parts have arrived so this will be the next main job.

A spit is being made to turn the shell over to allow for the Bottom to be cleaned and treated.

The Chrome and bagels etc are all sorted missing one hub cap centre

Have the gaskets for the engine rebuild.

Yes the early cars are nice the only problem is the all alloy bodies, more difficult proposition to renovate.
As they are welded in to one piece and no body spares available for the cars.

The Pin farina cars are steel so a little more manageable.
