Restoration has now began 1991

[daj]

Its now 1996 and the car is ready for the paintshop!!!

[daj]

Its now 1997 and its back from the paintshop!! We must be heading for the longest 2002 restoration in history!?!?

[daj]

We now jump to the year 2000, I have a feeling that red paint was going cheap at the local shop!!

[daj]

These are the last photos that came with the car for its restoration, The date is Oct 2000 which is 10 years on from when it was started!!

[daj]

We now jump to 2006, We purchased the car in Dec 2005 from a Historic racer in England that wanted a car for his son to learn the ropes in. He purchased the car from the man who restored it without letting him know there intentions I do believe!!. The car was built for a very standard race series which did not allow any mods other than safety.

[daj]

Since we got the car, We set about sorting the handling out. We used coilovers on the front and HD`s on the rear with Ireland race springs, adjustable sway bars, poly bushes all round etc.

Disaster struck on our maiden outing!!!

Head gasket went in the race as captured coming into the pits by a family member!!

Some more photos of the car in action!!

PLANS FOR 2007!!

At the moment the car is back in the workshop having a new engine fitted, brake upgrade, New exhaust system including bigbore manifold and the cabin is having a complete face lift ( 3 weekends removing sound proofing!!).

Racing for 2007 is going to include as many races as I can possibly afford in my budget to make up for last years poor effort, Including finishing this time at Castle Combe as a tribute to my racing friend who was sharing the car with me that sadly died in Jan 07.

Hope you enjoy the photos
