Dino Restoration Update
The winter months have seen a dramatic change in this 1970 London Motor show classic beauty, slowly seeing the return to it's former glory. Steve has completed the immaculate and flawless body and paintwork, which gained much admiration at our open day. The car has been handed over to Ian and Matt to start the reassembly. Ian has completed the engine and gearbox rebuild, which now has new pistons, unleaded valve conversion for the heads and a rebuilt gearbox with all new syncro hubs. Matt has been working tirelessly on rewiring, spending many an hour upside down, inside and under the car. He has also been working on the suspension and brakes with components now overhauled and ready for fitting to the body. We've also had the trimmer on site to start the refit of the interior. The project is moving at a steady pace and the owners frequent visits to the workshop strengthen his confidence and trust that the Ian and his team are close to delivering the vision that we are all working towards.
