#1 New member from France - E-type 1969 OTS 2 series
Hello everyone,
my name is Alexis, i'm 25 years old and i'm starting a new restoration project with my dad on a 1969 OTS.
We are located 70 km north to Paris.
About the lady, she is from Arizona, it looks in good condition, but also there is some rust as usual.
It will be totally disassembled.
Mechanical parts are safe, interior is used (will be better to fit a new one), and steering wheel needs also to be refurbished (if you have a good address please let me know )
Sorry for my english, i hope you understand well. I'm learning all the technical language.
The first and the easiest step is done: getting out the bonnet.
Greetings from France,
Alexis

Welcome to the forum and your command of the English language is just fine. (You should hear me try to get by in France speaking your language!) It looks like you have a good car to work with and what a great father-son project. Enjoy the process and feel free to ask questions of the forum along the way.

Hello,
Thank you all. I have discovered forum few months ago. I had a look on some interesting and completed topics. This is great !
Do not worry, I will keep you informed about the project by updating some photos !
We will take our time, and manage our intention on important disassembling steps this winter, to start body work on spring 2018.
@ Ralph : c'est super d'avoir également des interlocuteurs Francophones ! Merci à toi, effectivement j'ai pu me rendre compte à quel point ce forum est une mine d'or de par la communauté et les informations qui y regorgent !
À bientôt
