Its more than almost. The pictures show the Top Tubes have been replaces with Round Tubing. Judging from what you can see of other work carried out, it’s more than almost sure that a rubbish job has been done of that mod, if the eventual owner retains the V8 lump.
Gentlemen may I remind you both, this is a project, and I’m sure you would not appreciated if your cars were distastefully scrutinized on any site if they were for sale. I therefore would appreciate you keeping your discouraging and disrespectful remarks to yourselves or create your own sites for such remark. To reiterate this is a car listed as a project for sale, nothing more, nothing less. Have a good day…
I’m selling a car as a project, what part of that you don’t understand?
Buddy I don’t know or do I care to know your perception but I’ll strongly suggest you do what I told my kids in there formative years if you have nothing good or positive to say keep your mouth shut. Dale Carnrgie wrote a book call “How to win friends and influence others”, again this is a friendly site for people who love these cars and hobbyist. Mr, try being nice …
I wish you all the best, in a successful sale: you should take into consideration, if you list a “project” for sale, on what amounts to be the world’s most knowledgable collection of E Type aficionados on the planet, people will comment on it.
There will be “noobs,” looking at the post, and they may not have the depth of knowledge needed to recognize a critical area, like the modification of the front frames.
I’d say the previous commentary has been fairly reserved, and quite accurate.
And as Paul alludes to, it would be of great benefit to the uninitiated, for the project and the modifications that have been made, to be accurately described.
If I were to present work where its execution was rubbish, then I would deserve distasteful comments. However, I have no qualms whatsoever putting my work on display, at any stage of its completion, and having it critiqued.
I have a Series 2 2+2 in work currently that was brought to me, straight from a so called restorer, after a full nut and bolt restoration (cough), to be checked out mechanically before going for a Roadworthy inspection. Its now undergoing a correct, full, nut and bolt restoration. The butcher that did the previous work, modified the engine and bonnet hinge frames, as well as cut and shut the LH wing by 25mm to get the bonnet to fit. So bad is the work carried out on the bonnet, that it was cheaper for the client to pay AUD8,000.00 for a good used bonnet than to have the original brought back to how it should be. I’m certain he would have appreciated someone pointing out the short falls of the work closer to the start than after the restoration was deemed finished.
I’m sorry for the unfortunate circumstance your customer went through, but if you are going to spend enormous amounts of money, it would behoove you to make inquires of establishments in the area or club sites for recommendations. If anyone is interested in my project car they are welcome to have someone with experience to do their inspection or ask me pertinent questions, which I’m obliged to do so expeditiously and with accurately. Mr reputation is worth more than a few pennies. Seasons greetings to you and family…
@willinda - as a potential buyer I find the questions being asked extremely helpful. Maybe you shouldn’t list the car for sale if you are not prepared to have an honest discussion about it.
