New Garage Find - Suffolk

Hate the term, it's so misused......but covers pics from fields, woods, farms, garages, lock-ups, barns, driveways etc....

Wow! That looks like a very thorough job. Should end up being a super-solid example!

While you can, have a good look at the structure of the plenum chamber from inside the cabin while it's exposed. As our Sam will confirm with feeling, repairs here at any other stage in the car's life are eye-wateringly expensive.

I am so glad that this lovely early 1 c/man has been saved. Yes all bodywork is expenstive however it is worth it in the long run when the car is done and then looked after! My Car is going in on Monday to have the Drivers side inner and outer sills replaced along with floor pans. A good job done. Do keep us updated with your car!

Trevor - its Julian here - I have been over to your place a couple of times! I am still after a NOS o/s front wing and n/s rear qtr panel to aid my restoration. Sorry to say that the donor car I picked up last year was of no assistance. This is the latest position.

Hi Julian, Club spares have all you require as I believe, just require the appropriate contributions.
