Beautiful work. Is that a K or a cooper in the background? What year?

Trainspotter...
It's a '62 850

Happy 2022 everyone









 

I hope you've enjoyed this build - it's a far cry from what we started with....
Evan will be collecting it shortly as it is his plan to finished the restoration himself. I'll update this thread when it's completed.

Cheers,
Locky.

Nice one Locky! Just went back through the whole thread, some impressive work as always.

couple of random questions.

I noticed you received the shell back from the blasters in raw metal, do they coat it in something to protect the bare metal? Or do you get straight onto getting epoxy on right away? I assume you don’t let them blast things like the roof or rear quarters and strip them by hand? 

also with your rotisserie, what’s the rough height measurement from the front bumper mounts to pivot point and rear bumper mounts to the pivot point? I’ve read roughly 3 inches in the front and 5 inches in the rear is about balanced on a rotisserie for s30s.

This left this morning to be returned to Evan.
If you are in Woolongong, keep an eye out for it!

Fabulous work as always, and another S30 brought back from the brink!. One extremely happy owner I'm guessing who will soon be happily putting the remainder of the car back together. Awesome!

Just scrolled through this resto from the start.

What a story!

Great craftmanship and farnarkling on display.
