My donor car was A700 JDC which was beyond repair-shell wise and i got hold of a shell from Phil's mate David Abraham in Northampton, with another 40 hrs work the shell was ready to be painted.
over 80hrs have been put into the renovation of the parts removed from A700JDC along with at least as many hours searching the internet for parts!
This is my first GTE, having owned a 16sr and a 1200s in my youth. This car has entirely dominated my last year and hopefully will be on the road for spring.
Check out my personal gallery for some more pics of the restoration
