Restoration of HWR 652T

[GAZ W]

inlet and Carbs now on

most of the interior is now in

and its the first time today that the car has been on its wheels and moved out of the garage for the first time in nearly 2 years

some pics.... most of them are a bit shite though cant really see much and im sure the seats were cleaner than that when i put them in

are those brackets on the back for the new fast and furious spoiler

nice one gaz,will it ready for the tour?

[Frosticles]

Loving it Gaz, Superb work. Will be more than ready for the tour by the looks of it.

Gaz, car looks fantastic, real credit to you, looks so much more finished with the nosecone on, cant wait to get Worthers done this week, feel like i,m playing catch up,, well done Gaz.

[Nelly]

Hey its not finished yet, got to admit im not happy with some parts , roof lining is shite cant get it to stretch far enough to go under the rear window rubber, wished i had stripped down all the front end suspension, crosmember etc again and had it all re powdercoated, and wheels are crap but i just want it back on the road and i cant throw anymore money at it just now so the litle things like the wheels will have to wait for another time .

But it will be back on the road this year regardless

Gaz I know exactly what you mean, there's a few bits on mine that i'm not entirely happy with, and wish i'd had the time and patience to do slightly better, but i'm just itching to get it back on the road (it's been off for nearly 3 years now)!! At the end of the day very few people can ever say that their cars are 100% finished, so just get it done and enjoy it!

looks stunning by the way, I think you'll be done before me.... just!

nice one gaz,will it ready for the tour?

Dont think it will be ready for the tour , i know it doesnt look like there is a lot to do now but when you sit down and start adding together what there is to do and how much more money is needed it seems a long way off finished .

Just getting it started and set up will prob be a couple of hundred quid, still needs hoses ..£100 , stripes ...£30-40 , MOT at least £50 , tax £100 other bits and bobs to to cover things i forgot £150 thats neary £700 just with those few bits ...so i will hazard a guess and say no it wont be ready for the tour
