So, I started my new project (Thomas's old project). The shell was originally aubergine, then painted yellow. Thomas had stripped all the undercoating and removed all the exterior paint. I plan on having the entire shell walnut shell blasted to remove the last of the interior paint. Thomas had also installed the "6" engine mount and the chassis stiffening kit. I have removed the mounting hardware for the window washer tank. This weekend I have started installing the steel AA GT flares. Front and and rear left GT flares were installed. I dismantled the 3.0 engine that I will be using, the heads are off to be rebuilt, the rods balanced, the crank balanced and micro polished, the rockers rebushed and resurfaced, and the flywheel and pressure plate balanced. I'll be running carbs and a 911-01 transmission. More to follow.
