Coupe Build Pics - Page 5

I like it for what it is, I would have done a lot of the metalwork in a different way though, there was a lot of work done that wasn't thought out before the cuts were made, that's my only niggle. I could work with Gerry and we'd make miracles happen with these cars. I hope to meet up with him at a meet and go through some ideas. It's a nice car and not bad for the first real one. I've no doubt that another is coming.

When I first saw this I thought, this guy obviously owns or has considerable access to a car body shop.

But these fantastic photos show the car has been "reborn" in an almost normal home workshop.

Full credit to you Gerry for a true masterpiece.

When I carried out my rebuild on my SD1 Vitesse, at one time the car was down to floor pan, door pillars and roof. It took me three years to complete the project but now the car sits like new under covers in my garage.

Well done for all the hard work you put into it , you will find it very difficult to ever get rid of it.

I love the car especially the level of quality of finish, apologies if it's been asked already but how long did it take to complete? and have you done any other car mods? I'd love to see other examples of your work
