Description
This car has undergone a total restoration, with a 25 part YouTube series detailing the rebuild from the start. Search ‘treetopspider’
I bought this car with the intention of keeping it forever, as at the time I was moving into a house with a garage. With that in mind, I have gone above and beyond with this restoration. Sadly, that is no longer happening, so it's up for sale as I don't have the space to keep it.
The following is a quick list, but not an extensive one, of the work carried out
All four wings have been replaced with top-quality used ones that were rust-free
All rust on bodywork cut out and new plates butt welded in place
All old underseal removed from wheel arches (to reveal any rust) and stone chip coating applied and finished with paint
All rubber bushes on front and rear suspension replaced
New brake master and slave cylinders fitted
Front calipers rebuilt
New clutch master and slave fitted
Cylinder head went off to a machine shop to have new hardened valve seats, stem guides and skimmed in preparation for unleaded fuel
New seals and diaphragms fitted to metering unit
Electronic ignition with high performance leads and coil
New water pump and timing chain
New stainless steel bumpers
New mohair hood
New Leather seats
New interior panels and carpets with additional sound deadening
New stainless steel exhaust
New front lights
Just been resprayed throughout in gorgeous Mimosa Yellow
The list goes on and on… to really see what's been done to this car, skim through the YouTube series. This is far better documentation than any restoration album
The Chassis was totally rot free so has been protected with a 3 in one coating
Unfortunately, since finishing the rebuild, it became apparent that the overdrive is not working and upon inspection the solenoid seems to be seized and will require changing (£45. 00 from Rimmer Bros) At this stage, I have run out of enthusiasm so will be selling the car as it is. Also, the speedometer is not working either
The car is currently taxed as a historical vehicle (free)
All viewings are welcomed and encouraged. I have tried my best to be accurate and honest with my description but would prefer any interested party to satisfy themselves with a physical viewing.
