Dubhit............What have I done????/
Anyway i drove the car for about a week, which reminded me why i love these cars so much and then took it off the road.
The work is bein carried out at Paynes body Technik in Bucks. Myself and Richie Payne are doin most of the mechanical work whilst richie's dad Tony is doin the body.
Nothin major……..
Rewire
More chrome
More Carbon
Paint the Block and carbs
Tramonts
New trim
Good flat and polish
repaired bay and general tidy up…
Here are afew pics of what we have done so far…..
Put the new wheels on 8+9x14 Tramont splits
Stripped the interior…..
Got the engine out…
Got some new bits to go on..
I'll try to keep this updated as we are on a tight deadline as i need it ready for ultimate dubs in March
