Chris F's build ....

11 Aug 2019, 4:02pm
lack of post recently due to a few factors ... apologies to anyone following ...
This car is currently residing at the paint shop ...so not a lot to report until its back in a few weeks ... Fitting up and MOT to follow ...full leather 356 bucket seats undergoing being trimmed as well.

Andy K's car is halfway through an aluminium interior too ...so not much to report there .

I've started a V8 build for a guy from Slough area ..2004 Mustang smallblock with Tremec 5 spd. in a Scimitar chassis , 16'' competition wires , modified front , full bootlid with 16'' spare inside etc.

Also about to start a 'budget' no frills , gelcoat only build starting with a running , driving SE5 ..Keeping costs to a premium by using as much as we can from donor and sourcing second hand parts ...

62 Herald just arrived for an interesting build over the winter as well ...

Blue ''Survivor'' number 4 is currently residing at a classic car dealers in Newbury ...

So things are happening , just not much to take pictures of ...

I've always thought that would be a good way to sell these cars vs. Ebay.

So I hope this works out well for you.

Chris wanted Aston ...I think he got it !!

Just fresh from paint and over at Bisto34's workshop to be fitted up , mot'd etc...

The huge arches and 16'' wires have given it the DBR1s feel that was intended ...a gorgeous polished stainless grille going in to mimic AM too ... more pics as and when ...

Looking very nice and what a great colour choice. :)

This looks way better than the Replicar offering.

This is my fave of your builds so far Gary.

Really looking forward to next stage pics.

This Aston Martin DBR1/4 was on display today at the Castle Combe Autumn Classic race meet . The last one sold in 2017 went for a cool £17 million so Chris`s Formosa should turn a few heads when its done

Any more photos of this car?

As it would be great to see that paint job in full sunshine. :cool:

Also, I somehow seemed to have missed this photo of the interior.

Which looks spectacular.



Good luck, Paul. :)

That's a great looking car on the road, I think you've got the dimensions just right. Again.

It does look great, would be nice to see it zooming down an empty A road !
