Newly restored GT
Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2018 6:35 pm
This is Jonathan Bradshaw's GT, NDM 930P.
Jonathan bought the car on ebay in June 2016, although it looked OK Jonathan expected that it would riddled with rot - and so it was.
As bought - looks good
Work started late October ’16, the car was then sent to the body shop for complete rust removal.
Jonathan started reassembly April ’17 with all new trim from Rejen which looks fantastic. Struggled with paint colours and ended up with a colour as near to Saba blue as I can imagine, which was its original colour.
Engine mostly stripped and put back together as in good order rebuilt carbs and drilled out the idle jets to stop the ridiculous spluttering. Car was back on the road for Goodwood revival and have covered about 3000 miles trouble free and enjoying every minute.
Still a few bits of trim detailing to finish ..particularly the waist rails that are proving a nightmare!
Looking forward to getting out and meeting more GT’s on the road as it is a lonely business when there aren’t many.
