Update on Earlier E Type Restoration

Posting the pictures of the latest E type restoration reminded me that I haven’t posted the recent pictures of the earlier restoration of an E type we are also working on.

This car has a bit more rust damage, but after the paint was stripped, we found some other damage in the rear quarter panels, and some in the hood.  For the most part though the body is in pretty good shape.

Our plan now is to cut out the rusted areas, and replace with new metal.  Most of the body panels that have been filled with Bondo, will be cut out and repaired with new metal.  This is the most time consuming part of any restoration.  It is also the part that receives the most attention.  We have to make the car look good so that every time you walk up to it, you think “wow, that’s a great looking car”.
