|
|
A friend of mine is restoring a series 3 33, these pics were takes this week after the shell has been dipped & prepped for painting. Restorations dont come any more intense than this! He wishes to remain anonymous untill it's totally finished, the result will be basically a brand new 33. He isn't a member on here so i'm putting the pics on for him, just as a teaser.

Acid dip came with a huge price tag, he may well sign up on here when all done so he can show off his creation, so far he has spent more on the resto than the car cost new in 1993! a lot more! I'm not totally sure where this restoration place is but it is north Wales somewhere.

Holy sh*t, he must really love it. The list price of a 16v saloon in June 1993 was £13,100
It must be someone who loves cars and has more money than sense. Alex do you know Nick Mason or jay Leno?
Can't wait to see it complete.

Jey Leno, how did you guess John? I think a 33 would be a nice addition to his museum. _________________ 155 sportpack

i have seen a article in this months classic car mag tihs month about acid dips and for a 33 size car is cost about £2000 to be done but is worthwhile if you can afford it. |
