First Entry

I thought it was about time to record the history, progress and the numerous hours spent in the garage! I have taken various photographs throughout but I have not really placed them in any order yet. I hope to record the full schedule of works for future reference should I ever be daft enough to to this again! But hopefully if may be of interest to other enthusiasts if they are inclined to read my ramblings.

I have been the owner of a Vitesse 1600cc, a Spitfire MKIV a GT6 MKIII basket case and now the GT6 MKIII referred to above. By chance I saw the PRI web site and saw that they had fitted 205 rubber and modern 16" wheels and this sparked my interest to buy another Gt6. At the same time I noticed the currect GT6 in ebay. It had been stored in a barn approx 20 years ago. It still had the original cardboard radiator cowlings. The sills and body were fairly good and the decision was made. The first set of pictures show the car when I first got it home. I propose to enter more entries shortly, up to the present day. However I should warn those that want to see an original car at the end of the day may be dissapointed. As indicated I have already fitted the new hubs, new alloy wheels and rubber but also a revised set of lights at the rear , rear spoiler (adapted)leather interior, unleaded head lowered springs etc. Basically my idea of how the car should look and perform and not adhering religeously to a "concours" restoration. I hope it is of some interest.
