On its way to Envirostrip

Back from Envirostrip and being readied for new panels. Its going to need new rear wings, rear panel and door works plus attention to the sills. The aim is to retain as much of the original metalwork that we can as such an early car (chassis 1858).

April 2021: Another red 1800E in for works, a 1971 car on minilites that is being checked over prior to upgrades for rallying.

Side trims being removed for fixing holes to be filled in, this car is going to be wrapped after delivery. 

Bodyshell very solid and rustfree but found the old paint very thick.

Surface has to be smooth for the body wrap.

I think it looks great in matt finish!

Client looking at spotlight options, may end up with 5 inch units in the grill aperture.

Power steering now fitted, a perfect upgrade for these cars. Change of plans by the owner means strip down and back to paintshop, not going to be wrapped in HK and will be painted here.

Final polishing before it goes off to have a bespoke airconditioning system fitted.......more news to follow

Colour looks great!
