Re: Long term hibernation

Looks in great shape !

Re: Long term hibernation
Looks can decieve!
It needed the gearbox mounts and prop doughnuts doing at 130K miles, then a fuel line split at the rear so I took it off the road. Children and house move took over, 10 years later it is still in Storage!
Mostly good panels, excellent interior, mostly good under the bonnet just a small amount of corrosion. However it needs rear arches, cills and spare wheel well is rotten.....just ordered replacement arches but havent found any cills yet.
it looks rosso 130 in the pics due to the dust and lack of light, but it is a lighter red rosso 555.
I've owned it for 20 years so need to get my finger out and do something with it, not sure whether to go fast road / track or standard.

Re: Long term hibernation
It does look good and me being me I'd keep it standard. A word of caution before embarking on any mods even though I'm sure I'm teaching you to suck eggs.......
Aaron ( whom Kev and I both know ) started a 75 project about four years ago, the intention being to make a road going/track day car. Spent a lot of time and money on it and last time I saw it it was looking good but still a way off completion.
Dunno if the project has stalled or what, not heard for a while.
