The 'E' Type Forum

Just saying hello. Had a few E Types amongst the others, got an old nail of a ser.1 somewhere in the barn which i will do one day.
Im a restorer by trade (chassis and mechanical) and have the cuts and bruises to prove it, i hate restoring cars to show spec as they mostly dont get used after that apart from shows or used as currency but much prefer restoring to a good honest fast car as its supposed to be, please dont tell my clients that though.

welcome aboard John :)

responses from a professional restorer would always be welcome - undoubtedly you are a real fan of all the rubbish classic car parts that dont fit like they are supposed to :)

Not sure about being 'professional' Chris but more of a 'fell into it' type of thing, brought up with Jaguars and Alfas in the family, this started me on the road to scraped knuckles / exhausts falling on face and constantly listening out for weird noises etc. so cant be bad, keeps me out of trouble and i have usually got a couple of years worth of work in (touch wood).
Yes i too love those aftermarket parts that dont fit, by the time you have fettled them fit for use you could have fitted a genuine one and cracked on with some other job!.
