Monaco Blue Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Blimey! That looks almost factory fresh! Should be a cracker when finished! The production line is in full swing what with this, the Berlinetta and the Kadett coupe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bris jas Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Kevin, can you get a good finish with tinted Rapture? Never used before but seems like great stuff, i read you have to put it on with a underseal gun hence the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY ABBOTT Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Ok so bit of an update on this, we have now got back onto this car A post has been repaired, we cut the swan necks out so we know it's solid inside the chassis and replaced with new. Put it on the spit and under body protection has been done. I will continue to update this as we go along 😊 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Got a bit more done over the past few days. We managed to source some much needed parts thanks to Dan and Carl, And then cracked on with prepping and painting cross member, rear axle and engine block. The head has been removed ready to recon and refit with new gasket set. The rear axle has had new cylinders, shoes and brake pipes, new discs, pads and callipers fitted and now body work will begin. 😎 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.
