After 10 months full time labor totaling 1410 hours, my restoration is up and running. . . all new engine started on the first try. . . ran it for 1 hour at 1500 to 2000 to break in the cams and everything else. . One minor oil leak due to my inattention. . , loose oil pressure line I didn't tighten enough during the rebuild. . Idles nicely at 800 and those E cams sure sound nice. .
took it around the block and there is nothing sweeter than the sound of Webbers right next to your head. . can't wait to get it aligned and take it for a real drive. . and, yes those are my real plates. . I prop the Calif plate in the rear window when on the road. . Attached image(s)

I've seen Dave's/Toolguy's beauty in person & the pix don't do it justice!!!!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) It's a very low mileage -6 & has an interesting back story - as does Dave! He's a master resto guy & very helpful to us amateurs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hope to see her fully running next time I'm down your way Dave! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

Gorgeous car. Love the wheel/car color combo. Very nice work, but no words can match the sound of the engine at full song.

ToolGuy - I just love your car. Everything about it is right. I like the wheels, the way it sits and the sport exhaust. I sincerely hope my car car is close to being that nice when it is done. Congratulations on a terrific build. How about posting a whole bunch of completed car pictures for us to drool over?

That is a beautifull car!
Gives me power to work with mine. Which is going to be exactly like yours (except side markers). Can not wait to hear those sounds of Webers.. Do you have somewhere pictures of building her up? |

The car looks great Dave! Looks clean enough to eat off of.. and then some.
Out of curiosity, how do you get away with having the Euro plate in the bumper, and the cali plate in the window? If I tried that in Pomona, I'd get a HUGE ticket I'm sure... Is there a law that allows that? |
