Hi guys,
Thought it best to join this site to hopefully gain some advice from far more knowledgeable people in the coming months/years with the restoration/repair on my recent (ebay) purchase.
It's slightly horrific what has happened to the car. I am going to attempt to get the poor girl back to a deserved as 'original as I can money depending' state!
Pretty sure from all the reading I did on the car before I bought it was that Lee Ivatt did the initial restoration and a lot of hard work at getting it to a near completed state.
Here are a few pic's of the split when I first took delivery. It need's an interior, most glass, bumpers, original wheels and original hand break (which is one part I have acquired!).
Things like reversing the front lowering is another soon to be job. Not too sure what I will need for this, it is on adjusters which are fairly easy to use I believe.
The Roll Cage should be removed very soon, sympathetically in the cars favour.
I've removed the Judson Supercharger which I am hoping to swap for a split interior or cash to fund one.
Over time it would be nice to install an original crash box and even a 25hp engine. It currently has a non-split trans and 36hp (30hp) 1958 Type-2 rebuilt engine.
It's never been on this shores roads as a driver (as far as I am aware) since it was imported from Germany in 1987, the sooner it's there the better :)
Cheers, Leon.
