This build has been on the go for about a year and a half, while the plan has stayed the same, the route has changed somewhat.
The story starts 18 months ago - a friend on assignment in Moscow asked me to look at a 1750 GTV in Johannesburg my home at the time. It appeared to be a fair car (MK 1 1750's are becoming rare in South Africa).
The car was purchased and shipped to East London (South Africa). The car was stripped by its owner, sent for sandblasting (first mistake) and then delivered to my father’s house for painting.
The shell was fair - minor rust on door leading edges, rocker ends and floor boards.
Below is a picture of the car after blasting and etch primer.
