Another New project - Triumph Spitfire Race Car

This 1979 Spitfire 1500 has been with the same owner for many years, being used regularly and living outside. Despite past restoration work, it has deteriorated and needs some serious repairs. Now that the car has a nice double garage to live in, the owner decided now is the time to get it restored, but not quite as it left the factory.
The car is going to receive full top to bottom restoration, but it's going to be built for a new life, as a road legal sprint and hillclimb car.
As well as all the normal restoration work, the car will be fitted with a full roll cage, tuned engine and modified suspension, and will be stripped out as light as sensibly possible while still keeping it usable.
On getting the car to the workshop, it was stripped down to the bare body and chassis, and was taken for sand blasting. The car is now blasted and primed. More pictures to follow soon. It's going to be a busy winter!

New project - 1972 Audi 100S Coupe

Well, this is the new project I'd previously pictured, and well done to those of you who correctly guessed what is was! The Audi 100S coupe is a very rare beast in this country, with only around 20 being registered with the DVLA. Produced from 1969 to 1976, not many of them sold in this country, which is a great shame, as their stylish lines and lively performance makes for an unusual and competent choice of classic.

The car and all the panels have now been sand blasted and etch primed, to reveal all the true horrors that lurked beneath the filler.....
As I write this, large steps have allready been made into repairing the shell. Some pictures will be posted shortly.
