Good luck with the Scimitar project fella.
My current Scimitar was also a barn find and I’ve owned it for about a year now.
I used to own the orange one pictured above until I sold it to my old man and brought the green one.
I think Scimitars a bit Marmite you either love them or hate them. I’ve always loved my Fords but I’ve got to admit the Scimitars are great fun and they love going sideways!
My one was in quite a mess when I brought it, but it so cheap I had to have it.
I’ve spent the last few months restoring and modifying it which includes a full service, complete brake overhaul, new wheels and tyres, custom exhaust system and a re-spray.
If you need any advice on the project give me a shout.
