1968 restoration

[wantavolvo]

hi just to keep in the loop of the 1968 restoration project began by Gordon Hunter who basically rebuilt a shell the pictures tell the story i cant even begin to imagine the man hours he put into this car. I am pleased to say the car is coming now closer to completion as the body was completed and painted in Ipswich and Robert whitton is cracking on with the build

Love the P1800 dashboard. Do give us a little engine detail, looks like the old girl isn't going to hang around.
Thanks for the share

That's a serious amount of work there and the car's going to look superb when finished; more pics please. Q? What seat covers have you chosen/which supplier? I'm wanting to rebuild a new set and am looking for a seat refurb' Co' to cover in leather.

I now have a inhouse upholstery service I can offer , with a women that's got over 25 years plus experience I'm getting her setup ATM but she's going to be doing my 123GT builds full interior to showcase her work that I can offer to customers I have had enough of waiting on other services I'm taking control the only way I can and to get an upholster on the books no wait times full custom service on site ! Only way to go I think so feel free to give me a call if you get stuck and I will be adding a upholstery page to my website very soon with full info and rates

Caroline is doing a leather Amazon dash this week for me so will post pics up

Kind regards
