Just shows that anything is possible, given enough time and money. A like-new result must be very satisfying.

Also shows just how difficult it is to do a total rebuild because of the thousands of attention points revealed.

If it were me.... I would have insisted on a new factory style coachline along the sides. More attention to the headlights alignment. And NOT those exhaust tips!

I'm not really sure what is going on with the air intakes. Some older Jaguar IRS pictures slipped in there too.

I'm ambivalent on coachlines, but agreed on the blocky, oversize finishers. I commend them for rewebbing the belts, even on the buckle sides, but am not sure I'd have picked my new strapping from the Polestar reel.

G'day Gents,

This attached file I found on a Facebook X300 webpage and it tells a remarkable story.

If anyone here uses Facebook then the X300 page has a lot of free downloadable files, well worth a look.

Cheers,
Jeff.

Why, that is Brendan's (b1mcp) project car! A very interesting short story he's made of it.
