rayc Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 The Mcrae. Number 35 of 200. Poor old thing has been stood in a yeard for about 3 years. I bought it as a complete car but on collecting it was told some bits were missing. Engine blown but a replacement en route. After that it will be a repaint. Incidentally, both cars have full documents and service history! First viewing of the car Interior - Partially stripped but all complete apart from a few switches (I hope) Arrived at LRS Canterbury before washing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayc Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 After a wash It does have a full set of the original speedlines (In need of a refurb) Bit of rust Still work in progress Once the engine is in and running I'll get it to my mates bodyshop for a respray. Both cars will be used as promotional vehicles for my oil and oil additive business's plus weekend and show vehicles. I like to think they were way too nice to break and needed saving! Big thanks must go to the guys at LRS in Canterbury, without their expertise these would be sitting for a long time! Is that enough pictures? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
