Default My E-Type restoration pics

Hi, have had this car in a state of suspended restoration for too many years to mention. Hopefully this is the year it finally gets finished.

It was a running car when I brought it in. Lots of chicken feet in an older lacquer paint job, but a running car. Found major rust issues, what a surprise, not.

1963 OTS

The last of them.

The car was born white with a red interior. I intend to keep it that way.

I am a stickler for originality, so I don't want to do any mods, even seat belts which it was not born with.

Thanks for sharing. Absolutely stunning. Great work. Are you doing much of the work yourself?

I am not doing any of the work.

When we started the job they advised me to get rid of it and sell it for parts, and buy a restored one, because of the cost of restoration vs. value. Luckily I follow my heart when it comes to cars and moved forward anyway.
