Chassis rebuilt 10 yrs ago so its immaculate, suspension and brakes done at the same time then left for 10 yrs till I turned up. Converted to RHD by TRGB. Its the original chassis and a later rust free body and engine. J type gearbox and overdrive and a 3.4 diff.

foster461 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Almost there Robin, car looks great and we will look forward to seeing the finished project soon. Is that Sapphire ? Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Stan, should be but isn't . It's a very close colour but had to het paint matched to spray engine bay. God knows by PO didn't just go with standard colour. Chassis is powder coated in grey not black. Did wonder about doing it black but the grey has grown on me. Does make it easier to spot stuff. Got a slight manifold leak but can't find it, had both inlet and exhaust off twice but no joy. Any ideas chaps... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
