Last update Dec 23rd, didn't realise it was that long ago. But as others have said, time is a big factor for me. I've given up on setting a completion date, though I would like to at least get the shell etc painted this year. Just as an example of costs spiraling, the general quide to whether the space frame front end is ok is to shake them and see if they rattle, ie small flakes of rust inside the tubing. ( you can have them x rayed as well ) The frames themselves will look absolutely fine but are weakened by the internal rust. Do you risk such an important part of the structure of the car? Can you check them while still on the car......... no. Guess what mine rattle when removed. No problem they are only £2,500. Bonnet £6,000 You get the idea and the annoying thing is it's not like treating yourself to nice shiny bits, it's all extra money to be found from somewhere for stuff you didn't intend replacing. Hutsons and even more so Eagle, will tell you that to restore an E type properly now will cost you somewhere in the region of £100k.
awesome build, some very pricey work there!! I know 911 porsches are the same....
been offered a rather decent 280z which I am giving serious thought to - only downside is LHD, but its been in the same family since 1977 no rust, no respray
