or to vote for this race car or leave a comment

My latest project that was basically given to me by a friend who realized after buying it that he was in way over his head. It is a former local amateur rally car with the scars to prove, but has a built engine with twin HIF 6s, and needs a total resto after sitting for 12 years. I had previously owned a 62 Jensen coupe and had always wanted an ES wagon. It took two days to make it run and drive great, and will probably take two years and some serious cash and effort to get the body and interior to the same standard. I finally have my ES though! NOTE Mine is too ugly for pics yet but this stock pic is the factory sea green color I will paint it. Same Virgo wheels too.

Yay! Good story and great looking car! Almost idiosyncratic enough to be British... Have fun with your project.
