At last - 1071 Rolling

Post by steve1071 »

After many years in paint and being used as a shelf i've finally got my 1071 rolling.

We move house this week and despite the wife's protests about not helping her pack it was clearly more important I got this sorted. It took me a couple of days to sort the garage and unearth the car, then a couple more to sort the frames and fit them up.

Last picture is in the cars new home, my pals unit. Engine dropped off yesterday for rebuild as well, more pictures in a few years!

What a crime! To have a lovely restored painted shell just sitting there - get it built up!

Cheers Jens

I'm not sure it will be this summer, but I am now motivated at least. In my defence I really haven't had time to fart over the last 3 / 4 years with a young family and a new business venture. Things are settling down now, and hopefully so is my blood pressure!
