Looks great! Love early Evo’s now too, will be desirable as time goes on.
Look forward to the updates.

Note. Please don’t quote the OP guys, the thread will become huge with all of the images!

Keep up the good work, I'll be doing this to mine some day

That's a proper project ... Worth all the hard work though

... I'm sure this is going to be very minty once finished.... Looking forward to seeing the updates

Thanks mate with all the work done I don't think I'll be selling it anytime soon

It's only the proper way to approach a rebuild from the ground up

Forgot about this one! Striking contrast with the orange on black - looks good though!

When do you plan to have it done by?

Davevo123 · 23-02-2020, 01:07

Just a update on my project its gone into the bodyshop now should have it back in two months new roof skin and full respray Queen Silver

Have the engine reconditioned

Ask looking a gearbox now or rebuild the old one

Thanks to all your comments
