Re: Mongrel Street Racer
Orange and black.....so cool.
Darren I might have to leave my carpet out and just do those sound deadeing pads - look great, like a carbon fibre interior!
You will be on the road in no time at this rate!
Wonder if you'll ever drive the white one again.....

Re: Mongrel Street Racer
Stunnng colour Darryn, was always my other choice If I didn't find a black car, love the contrast between the 2 colours and the clean edges which will be visible at the doors...surely you should be strongly tempted to leave the diamond grid sound material exposed after it's been so carefully installed..?
Look forward to reading more

Re: Mongrel Street Racer
I saw Darren's shell at first hand on sat, and it really is as good as it looks in the photographs.
It was good catching up on Sat Darren appreciate you taking the time to show me the shell, the finished car is going to be something special, I envy the choice your going to have when its finished ...... original 2.4E or the mongrel to drive..... decisions decisions....
Cheers
Mark

Re: Mongrel Street Racer
Thanks Mark, was good to catch up and glad to hear you've settled nicely in Kent.
Plans for your project sound really exciting, look forward to following your progress......a properly restored 67S with a few period sports mods.......doesn't get much better than that!
All the best,
