A LHD car originally shipped to California and sent to us by its current owner in Spain, the car is 100% rust free and had no signs of repair although a previous owner had carried out extensive modifications that we will be putting back to standard, these include highly modified inner wings and front valance, modified bulkhead and heater/ a/c, homemade wiring loom with fusebox flushed into inner wing and much more.
The engine bay and interior have been stripped and the panel work has been completed which included 2 new inner wings plus many other handmade sections and brackets which are not available new, also replacement of the modified front valance which also required replacement of the front sections of the wings as these had been modified too. Once this work was complete the front end of the car was repainted to match the rest of the car and the engine bay was returned to its factory finish.
We have built the car back up with a complete new wiring loom and original fusebox, along with a fully rebuilt engine.
The engine was rebuilt as it arrived to us as a non runner having being rebuilt but damaged on first fire up, when dismantled and checked we found bent pushrods, a camshaft with one lobe and lifter completely destroyed along with wear to the mains and big end bearings due to the metal in the oil from the camshaft wear. The engine was fully stripped, machined and assembled with new parts in house and bedded in correctly on our engine test rig before being installed in the car.
The interior was refitted along with a new set of carpets and a new 8 track along with a new set of switches replacing the aftermarket switches fitted when it arrived.
The car was then test driven and any small snags attended to before the customer collected it and drove it back home to Spain.
