Hi,
Just thought I’d quickly post a picture of project Historic Rally car. The car is way better than I thought it would be, I’ve all 4 wings and sell covers off now and although it’s seen some repairs over the years it is not going to be a weld-athon to get it together.
The car was last on the road in 1998 and was taken off the road because of a gearbox failure, it then sat outside for a year or two before being rolled into the corner of a disused chicken shed!!! where is lay until I pulled out free at the weekend.
I’ve been in touch with Alan at Beech Grove Eng. and the first job tackled will be shell strengthening so despite having a solid car to start with the welding torch will need be used in anger.
I’ll keep you posted as things progress, time and money are both limited so progress will hopefully be steady but not crazy quick.
Thanks
Tim
