All spare glass. Nose cone. Bumpers .lights. Bulk headhiAnd lots more etc all in all good car to start with but gonna have body stripped and repainted white. We're upholsterers so interior is gonna be a bit special in bright red leather. Will be looking for advice etc along the way and selling some bits to fund it.

madmark Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Basically the guy had 2 cars both d reg. But one had rear shunt so tub and chassie was disposed of but kept everything from it even sills and bulkhead. But turns out now one engine is a 1300cc from a herold with overdrive gear box thats fitted to car but the spare engine is the origonal 1147 with origonal gearbox too so not sure weather to refit origonal 1147 or keep the 1300 in there for a bit.

Pete Lewis Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 1300 + OD is a better proposition Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Treasure trove!!! You're UPHOLSTERERS!!!! Do you do car interiors on a regular basis? If so there's a few on here would like your number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmark Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Yeah upholsterers mainly furniture but do the old classic car. Done a few sunbeams. 60s Lotus elans. Tvr 3000. Vw bay windows. All good fun but very time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
