Started work on another of our long-term restoration projects, a magnificent Mercedes 300SE – more on that later. Our other Mercedes project – the 300SL – is now down to bare metal and we can see that a few repairs are going to be needed before we can epoxy prime. We’ve almost finished the tiny (especially compared to the 300SE) Lotus Elan – we think it looks great now, and everything fits as it should, and the white Volvo Amazon Estate you might have seen in the background of a few photos in recent posts has now been returned to its owner after work that included an engine and gearbox rebuild, as has the red E-type that has had its cylinder head put back on. The big news though is our workshop is being refitted and we’ve actually got space again!
