Mmmmm chevette HS theyre monsters

[Allys Cally]

just cant beat retro motors, would love to own one of those

[Callyman]

In fact after dropping this one off, we then took his own one to his work as we think he has a crack in the front cross member.

Whilst picking up his HS, I thought I'd take a few pics of his next restoration.
This has been waiting in this barn/Shed for 10 years, and will be started this year.
When we opened the bonnet on it in november, mice had eaten the entire engine loom pretty much, luckily (being a vaux nutter) he had two 'spare' looms kicking about in another shed.
We wired it in, turned it over and she fired up....1st time in 10 years, as you can imagine the lifters where tapping like mad, but they ALL went quiet after 5 mins,
I can't wait to help him get stuck into it.

that looks mint mate, i bet hes well happy.

[Callyman]

It was a bit of a state when he asked Sheldon to rebuild it for him, sad thing is, he had already paid someone a few years back to restore it !!! but you know how how good sheldon is mate, so he got him to do it.

[BazV6er]

[Allys Cally]

mk1 gte nice, that was the car that got me interested in vauxhalls. my mate had a black one used to love going out in it because of the attention it always got

[Callyman]

Yeah it's pretty grotty on the inner wings, but he has new wings and floor panels ready to go on.
It will be a bare shell build, so nothing will be missed.
