Esprit project update number 5

[greezmunky]

Getting ready to wrap things up... I plan to take the car for paint in the first week of december. I decided to stop wrestling with sandpaper and bondo and to leave the rest of the body work to the pros. I also got the car running again arounbd 2 weeks ago. Topped off the oil, refilled the coolant and PS fluid and it started up on the 2nd crank!. With the help of a friend I also bled the clutch and brake fluids and installed a set of steel braided brake lines. The front suspension and steering are all reconnected, the steering rack works just fine, and much to the displeasure of my neighbors the car drives very well after a few spirited runs around the block.

Bondo? Who uses that anymore?

Seriously, tremendous job.

Cool did you do all the fibreglass patch work yourself for the panels?
I was wondering how you were getting on. Cant wait to see it all finished.
