Restoration thread, I'm next

Also, anyone want/need and spark plugs?

Next weekend I'm tackling this. Pictures to follow.

How do you go about taking off the top section with one of those fitted?

The whole shebang fits in the boot. This rear section gets loosened to allow the targa to be removed. It can then either remain on the car or go in to the boot too.

Its paint week. First and as is with the roof on. Sorry for the delay in showing these, I did a piece for Sprint magazine and wanted them to have the pictures first. And then I forgot.







Next, the front end. I have some biLED being fitted under MK3 cowls. With these I have halo drl/turn signals which can either sit around the headlight or replace the existing turn signal.

Thoughts on smoothing out the dog bites. Obviously you need to imagine the headlight treatment.

Taken both thought in to account and I think I have a way forwards. Meeting with the body guys on Friday, let's see if it's possible.

Thanks for taking time to reply.

The power is from a standard engine running a new ECU and a good map. I've not felt the need for new brakes but I tend not to push it on the roads these days.

No going back!

I agree with this, I was looking at the photoshooted images and was trying to work out what was missing, it's a slightly quirky look, but without it it's just a generic slightly boring front end that could be any car. But each to their own obviously.

I've come to this conclusion also. Hopefully I will share some progress photos throughout April.

Did I say April! Not even close.

The dog bites remain.



The boot hinges do not.

Absolutely beautiful colour.

Cheers. Aston Martin Devine Red. I have only seen it one one car, a DB11, and the owner did seem interested in chatting or even hanging around. It was a bit of a risk but seems to have worked.
