The engine bay and all front end components were cleaned up eight
years ago - with all parts only being cleaned up only. No plating or powder coating was used. I did everything as it would have been done from factory as I wanted a clean, original look rather than a fully restored look. After having such a good base car I think these days the original look is more appreciated rather than having a fully restored car in some cases. I think personally, we will see more of it. Not to say a good restored car isn't great to look at. They are, but after taking my car to Hanging Rock Car Show on the 11/02/2008 and with all the positive feedback I received, it was a real buzz to have enthusiasts really appreciate the car for what it is and what it would have been like all those years ago.
I had quite a few enquiries on the day regarding doing the same sort of job on some vehicles. I have a good original Track Red PHASE 3 ready to start shortly. I will also have shots of that car undergoing its clean up, so stay tuned.
