Holy cow there's gonna be a lot of build threads , well done Russel !
Here is my 67 , purchased from BRM Mark on here . Mark imported the car from CA a few years back . It needed 3 very small areas of welding which are now done .
The car is to be built on a major budget , a friend will be doing the paintwork , and i will be making most of the bolt on panels will be made by myself in fibreglass .
Wheels will be 15x7 douglas spun ali rims on the rear , 13x5 spun ali rims on the front .
Colour , maybe the same as Dean Kirstens old 67 , not sure yet .
And for the important part , the motor and trans will be the 2180 roller crank and close ratio items from my old race car , Ned Bug . running IDA's and a Mag .
Thanks , Rob

Its not that I haven't been working on the 67 , it just takes me so long to upload the generally awful photos I take as I go along .
Body is off the pan , the pan and heater channels are super solid , I'm even gonna re-use the original floorpan gasket !
Finally made a bonnet for myself , just got to make some rear fenders and engine lid . Current job is stripping off 2 layers of yellow and one Java green .

Got all the tar stripped off the pan , not even the battery tray is rusted out !
Had a visit from Richie , with a gearbox cradle and mid mount I got to weld in , then I can paint the pan .
Body should be going off for paint this week .
Cheers , Rob

Hi Rob, Glad this car went to a good home. I never had the time to finish the car, so glad another car is getting back. Regards Mark

Yeah I was joking too , couldn't you tell ?
I need a 68 only speedo ( early looking but with a fuel guage ) . Also could do with a LHD speaker grille , the larger one to the left of the speedo . You still got those wooden ones ? I badly need some seat runners too .
Cheers , Rob

I'm sure Rob wont mind.... Progress is underway at my bodyshop..., The Aston Martin can wait...., we get straight onto the interesting stuff here! It's one hell of a solid car!..... Looks like that 67 is in good hands. Nothing better than a clean front quarter panel with only genuine spot welds on show. You should make it perfect by having it painted in L282 Lotus White Nice workshop Jick. Good luck with the new business and I'm sure with the quality offered it'll work itself on recommendations alone. Frank
