The untouched and largely complete interior was one
of the reasons Rod and Mick went for this car.RESTO LOG
Wit their previous Grey Edition RS a success, Rod and
Mick needed to go the extra mile with their next build.The bulkhead,
chassis rails and
fl oorpan needed
localised repairs.As-bought, the
Series One was
more or less
complete —
though, as usual the
towing eye cover
was missing!With the repairs complete, the car went off for paint
— with a last-minute change to Schwartz Black.With the car stripped
down, Rod and Mick
could assess what
work they had to do
— and the verdict
was good.Meanwhile the
original engine was
rebuilt — with Rod
and Mick’s usual
attention to detail.Standard fuel pump was zinc-plated as per original.
Stainless steel exhaust system added later.Rod and Mick sourced new-old
stock parts where they could.94 September 2019
