1974 E Type roadster (FC) Partial restoration

Specification (briefly) for this project is as follows: Improve panel fit, eliminate rubber bumper overriders, fit aftermarket enclosed headlamp kit, repaint and perform major mechanical overhaul/upgrade.

We have now completed the bulk of the bodywork, installed and trial fitted the new bumpers and overriders and modified the bonnet to accept the aftermarket enclosed headlamp kit. Our next task will be to strip out the engine bay in order to refinish the firewall and engine frames. We will be painting the engine bay and engine frames in the next couple of days, followed by the main body shortly after that.

Marker lights (front and rear) are being eliminated		Trial fitting new 71 style bumpers and overriders
Note cut old overrider support bracket (marked X)  inside indicator housing	Engine bay is very grimy
Engine removed	Modifying bonnet  for enclosed headlamp kit	Finished result looks good, but installation  is extremely involved

I am pleased to report that we now have this project well underway. I hope you enjoy following the work in progress over the next few months!

We will retro fit earlier style bumpers and overriders	Car being largely disassembled for repaint	Enclosed headlamp kit will be installed
Huge overrider mounting brackets will  be removed	Boot, bonnet and door fit will be dramatically improved	Door edges were welded up and ground back to help improve fit
