INCREDABLE DRIVER CONDITION E-TYPE AS TURN KEY. YES THE PAINT IS NOT EXACTLY SHOW QUALITY BUT IT IS VERY NICE AND SHINES GREAT.

WE NOW HAVE NEW HINGES AND THE CAR GOES TO MY FAVORITE BODY SHOP FOR THE DOOR REPAIRS. THIS IS CRUCIAL IN THE CONDITION OF

THE CAR. DOORS HAVE GOT TO ALIGNED AND SHUT TIGHT.

WENT THROUGH THE CAR AND DID ALOT OF SMALL ADJUSTMENTS LIKE THE CARBS, RECHARGE THE AC, ETC. ETC. ETC.

MY ROLL WAS TO TOUCH UP PAINT BLOCK, BUFF, AND WAX. CLEAN THE LIKE NEW SPOKES. REPAIR VINYL AND LEATHER, RE-DYE ALL THE PANELS AND SEATS.

WRINKLE PAINT THE ASH TRAY AND THE DASH. INSTALL NEW POLK AUDIO SPEAKERS. RUST PROOF THE FRONT FENDER WELLS.

THIS CAR PLAIN AND SIMPLY WORKS WELL .... HELL EVEN THE CLOCKS WORKS.

WE DROVE THIS BRITISH RACING GREEN E-TYPE WITH 12 CYLINDER AND THE A/C ON TO A LOCAL EARLY MORNING DRIVE-IN SHOW AND GOT ALOT OF ATTENTION.
