Hello and welcome to my Blog! Ive been restoring this car for a couple of years now. Orginally a two time magazine feature resto-cal, I bought it as a stripped down chassis, shell and petrol tank. Im transforming the car into a cal-look beast with 2332cc engine, close ratio box and few other touches. Heres the car when owned by the previous owner on display at the Volksworld show in 2005. How I found it back in 2007. Were not done by the person I bought the car from.

Not the greatest picture but looks much better now it is sitting lower up front. Gives you a good idea on how to fit your lowered spindles.
