Thanks all. Looking forward to getting stuck into this project over the next few months. I'll keep it updated!

Stunning!
Thanks for sharing and for the regular updates!
Quality of work is brilliant, and the photo quality is amazing!
The autumn photos in your first post are lush! Did you take these yourself? What camera / lens are you using?

Thanks for an epic 30 minute read.
What did you do with the intake manifold in the end. Is it really just sandblasted and lacquered?

Wow it's looking amazing. Great thread with detailed pictures and an amazing car. Once you have the car back on the road I'd like to know what you think about those rear subframe bushings.
