rscapriman Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, here are some photos taken in 2005 for a magazine article. Cheers Rscapriman.
Escota Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 My word! Now that is just beautiful! Cracking worksmanship gone into that! Love the perfectly shaped polished copper brake pipes (i imagine) under the bonnet! Attention to detail is a must! Love it, dont change a thing
MadMark2 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 Yep she's definately a real beauty !! Did you restore her ?
Guest davo 123 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 love the colour car looks stunning
rscapriman Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 Yep she's definately a real beauty !! Did you restore her ? Hi Mark, yes I restored her back in 2003, I first owned this car in 1998 it had been of the road for over 7 yrs got it MOT'd within a week and then sold it within a month ( lack of storage). Bought it back in 2003 in a very poor state (see photo) did all the work myself except the painting. Cheers RScapriman.

Love it, dont change a thing Hi Escota, thanks for the great comments the brake pipes are in fact steel that is yellow passivated, I imagine it would be pretty difficult to get the rolls of copper tubing very straight ( it would for me). Cheers Rscapriman.

Cheers RScapriman.

Cheers RScapriman. Thats never good is it, letting a car sit outside half prep'ed bare metal and filler! Ive seen a few cars go to the scrap yard after stuff like that happened! Have you got any pics from the restoration? Be very interested to see if you have Oh and is the colour Sebring Red?? Looks awesome!
