Well folks, here she is arriving at her new home today, my new V8-S in all her glory (or should that be Gory). First job will be assessing what I've got and what's missing. An early review of the body suggests there are plenty of panels required. Definately wings, lamp panel, doors and sills. I have to look more closely at the rear quarters yet. Boot floor seems to be good.

Steve. Very Happy

I can't view the pictures for some reason?

Would love to see them!

Shes a beauty (or at least she was).

Weeks after my dad got his first 3500 (BER 20V) that I have discussed in another thread, we revisited the dealership for whatever reason and there was a brand new V8-S in the same colour as yours in the showroom.

My Dad being a fanatical Manchester City fan was gutted they hadn't told him this was coming in! I remember to this day his jaw dropping when he saw it. Laughing

Good luck with bringing her back to her former glory!
