Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been on and updated the story, the car hasn't changed too much, the rear inner/outer arches have been repaired as has the boot floor, the complete rear end has come back from powder coat, we welded some streingthning strips into the rear arms before they were done to try beef the back end up but aside from that it's just all clean and fresh ready to rebuild.
As mentioned before we had confirmed that the vehicle was in fact Mike Newmans and the man himself came over to take a look and verified it was in fact his, ( he even still has his twin cam droop snoot in the same livery which has just been finished being restored so we're excited to see that)
Mike brought us all the original letters to and from blydenstein discussing the engine build, along with receipts for the build and other work/ parts on the car so we now have a full history for the car, as soon as I get a new laptop I will get some pics of everything up for you guys as I'm just currently using my phone and have no idea how to upload pics onto the forum,
Kind regards
The jessop gang
