Been asked to restore a bd for a good friend, I am at a bit of a loose end so i thought why not... Its in a bad way but owner has most parts and is very keen for a good job. Love a challange and i think this baby is going to give me that .
Bit of History on car ,,,,,, Built in 1974 from a AVO supplied RS1600 service shell , number 312 . Supplied with factory Big wings and rear turret conversion. Also on closer inspection shell is seam welded but only on chassis rails and not on wing tops etc.
Could this be a works shell ?? ,am not up to speed ! all my time in past has been on factory cars and concours.... know a famous works car on service shell 314.. I personaly think first owner has gone into ford to buy a service shell and has been offered this , maybee same price or a few quid more , well it was 1974 . plus avo was closing its doors, end of a era .... Loads of strange fitments on shell like twin steering colum outlet holes on lower bulkhead , any help from you guys out there,,,,,, and there is some very clued up people on this bb would be a massive help
