candy red resto pics what do u think made bigger

Stupid question, but are you doing all the restoration work yourself?
Respect either way man, but if you are doing it all...Damn!?! You should be in business

Scrub that last comment...I also have spent the last hour or so reading every comment, and examining every photo.
I have owned at least half dozen 280s over the years, always drawing looks and praise, and I've also owned a couple of z31's. Currently I'm restoring one, in white,uk car, manual, turbo and, judging by the standard you set here,I too have some long hours of work ahead.
But I just wanted to say respect for the process, as well as the dedication you've shown, and I hope to meet both you, and the standard you've set sometime soon.
In Awe man...B-)

Having been in Derricks garage last night...

It looks just the same,..:p

only now there's a 260 getting ripped apart...:bow:
 
Well the Car has just had it 4th mot since being fully restored passed with flying colours ,no advisories used as much as i can when i can :D

took these pics while up on the post lift still looking good






pleased with how the underside is still looking :)
 
Those cowl panels look similar to the first gen Mustangs. Ford didn't rustproof them in any way and they just rust out and you have to drill out 200 spot welds to get to the rust. First thing you know about the extents of the rust is wet feet - presume Z cars are the same ...

You're doing a bang up job mate, the way it should be done looking at other threads :D
 
Anywhere near Stansted Del,gone past your place twice since ,but no room in van,I'll bell yer to sort wheel delivery out
 
Nice one Derrick and yes it does still look good underneath. :thumbs:

I noticed that it has UJ driveshafts, to prove what I was told on another Thread ( I thought they were all CVs.).
 
Great news looks like Photobucket have lifted there 3rd party viewing charge so i think all the old restoration threads can now be viewed properly once again.

Derrick :)

Still looks pretty clean underneath.

I can never understand how mine gets so dirty underneath, I never drive it in the wet, I think brake dust and tyre dust is a lot of it,
 
Hey Derrick,

Just been through the whole thread after taking on an S130 this weekend. I have a tremendous amount of respect for how good of a job you've done and in such short time as well.

Massive kudos and great car!
