1.1 Formel E Restoration
Hopefully next week!
We were set back by the weather earlier this week but it hit 7 degrees yesterday so it was as warm as it was going to get.
I should have it back in a couple of months - welded and with a shiny new coat of Pargas Blau!
In the meantime I can take the engine apart and renew anything that has perished or would benefit from an update. Dad removed the gearbox to find a new clutch which is one less thing to do!
Then it can be cleaned and sprayed and popped back in

Had a long chat with the bloke whose doing the bodywork and respray today and agreed on my final quote…

I will die before I sell this car, so it's worth it!
I should have it back at the end of Jan/ beginning of Feb and then everything will get put back in and I should be on the road by my birthday (24th Feb!).

NICCEEee….it looks so nice and clean
Are you planning on repainting a different colour?
The rust in the door doesn't look to hard to fix and the door looks really good besides that piece so i would just cut that bit out and repair that door.
Keep up the nice work
Ta
It's staying the same colour as I really like it and also because I don't have the funds to completely change it anyway!
