I'm restoring a RS1600i that makes your GTE look like a walk in the park |

THE END
Gilfy's gone to a new home to be finished.
New owner thinks Gilfy might actually make it to Billing next year! _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."

Nooooooooooo!! My favourite resto thread on here mate
It´s going to be one of those "love" stories, when the guy sells his beloved car and cries for years, and then finally after tracking it down for years, manages to buy it back from the 10th new owner lol. Smart you, waiting for someone else to restore it for you. |

Yep...
He's not done anything with him yet either... Hopefully Gilfy is being stored somewhere dry and not dissolving. Although everything that was cut ground or welded got a thick coat of etch primer...
The simple issues I had that despite moving to a new house with a double garage, it isn't really big enough unless the garage is purely for the car and not for usual garage crap like lawnmowers! So the unit was still costing £110 / month. _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."

Hell yeah!! it seams as if time didn´t pass. only Us that got older. just a heads up mate, now when you lay down to do something under the car, will be much harder to get up again ahaha. I could feel the difference when I started my restoration, versus when I finished it. |
