Ground Up Restoration. Many New Parts With All The Receipts To Prove It on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
I purchased this Spitfire 18 months ago and I was led to believe that it was 90% complete. Once I started taking things apart, it was evident that this vehicle was not in a safe condition to drive. I ended up completely dismantling the car and removed the body with the goal of rebuilding it. I had many of the chassis components powder coated and much of the suspension, brakes, steering replaced with all new components. I have the invoices to prove it.
The body is in great shape with no rust whatsoever. There is some corrosion in the area of the clutch and brake reservoirs which will need repairing. I have not touched that area but it is evident that a previous owner had attempted some repair. There is a small dent in the drivers door that can be easily pulled out.
The engine did run when I first purchased the car, but I have not run it since.
What needs to be done? The input differential seal leaked and was replaced. Unfortunately it still seeps so needs doing again. The body needs painting although the white is in pretty good shape. The wiring harness installed and all the electrical hook ups completed. The interior needs installing to include the dash. The seats are poor and could do with upholstering.
Parts missing: Rear bumper, front windshield, both door windows, carpeting. There may be other items but all are readily available at Victoria British, Moss etc
I had every intention of finishing the project, but because of my work schedule and starting a new business, I will never get back to it. The hard part is over.......someone else should finish it up!

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
