Giulia Sprint Speciale

This is what it looks like now

A lot of pictures will be of the restoration that started in 2011,  

I first saw an ss about 20 years ago and fell in love with the shape so when this car came up I was very  interested, I  drove to Sheffield to view it but it was so rotten I said not for me, no matter where you looked you could still see your feet, after a week of nagging thoughts I called the owner and said itss been a week since I saw the car and at this point in time I've forgotten  exactly how bad it is? Let's talk money,  a deal was done and the work commenced. 

This is the car shortly after I bought it, I bought it as a part restored project. perhaps in the 1980's all the paint was removed, body filler and primer coated, in the late 80's early 90's it was parked under a tarpaulin outside a garage until I  bought it at the end of 2010. This allowed bad rust causing rust holes everywhere.

I have since discovered after it first fell by the wayside it was swapped for a renault delphine, then swapped for a hillman hunter engine, obviously no value to it back then?

I have literally had to make the entire car from scratch 

Cobwebs and mice nests as found 2010

My daughter,  drives her own car now 

The rotisserie was temporarily cut off to make the front end by eye

Lots of holes

The engine was fitted to the painted engine bay

Most of the interior was badly damaged or missing altogether, I ended up making mirror image panels and then altered to fit 

The original red vinyl was replaced with leather,  being slightly thicker it needed a fair bit of tweaking 

Upto date , time for photo shoots and drive outs, along with some fettling along the way?
