The Restoration

Click on the links to the left to read the diary of events

Throughout the restoration I took over 500 digital pictures of the car during every stage of dismantling repairing and rebuilding.  This was not only to record progress, but also to understand how things fitted together in the first place.  If anyone viewing this site is contemplating a similar restoration I would strongly recommend the investment in a digital camera.  Not only is the cost of the camera cheaper than film, but the images from a 2 mega pixel camera can be enlarged enough onscreen to view far more detail than that of a 7x5 print.

Images throughout this site have been reduced in size for speed of download.  Should anyone require full size pictures, I would be happy to e-mail them.
