Every restoration shop should do one so here it is

17/9/2023

Its a 10 yarder but looks quite nice.

Time to strip

5/11/2023

There's a lots of part so the journey is long........

Paint is very patchy close up

10/12/2023

At first it looked like a flat back and detail will do but no....... Its a mixture of partial paint and repairs. It going to be interesting to see what's under here (oh no)!

Wheels away!

12/12/2023

All four corners stripped. No serious signs of rust yet

Cataloguing parts

14/12/2023

Its a slow process but absolutely necessary to bag and tag everything.

That V12! its big...... very big

18/1/2024

You've go to love the big V12 but oh my its heavy. The strip is well underway soon to be a bare shell.
