Hi all,
I am reassembling my 1963 E-Type that I purchased as a basket case in the SPring of 2011. I have a 4.2L Motor and 4 spd synchro gearbox left over from a previsous aborted restoration of a '69 S2 E-Type FHC, so I plan to install these into my S1.
I have installed the Front suspension and a new front brake kit from Wilwood. I have the IRS rebuilt but not installed yet. The brake system hard lines, sero and master cylinder(s) assembly is all re-done and the heater box is nearly completed. The Chrome is all replated and I have purchased a new wiring harness kit from SNG Barratts USA and several boxes of little parts that I need for each subsystem as I work my way through the car.
I am still searching for various parts in my own boxes and on the internet etc... and I need lots of advice and help, so I hope to learn from others on this forum. Here is a photo of where my project stands. You can see much more of what I have done / am doing on my youtube channel if you are interested.
