Barn find

Post by Johnboy »

Not really as most of you will know . It's my sleeping 33. But tomorrow is the day, if it's not pouring down. I finally bring it home after 7 years :oops: pumped all four tires up .Wiped 7 years of crap off it plus pushed it forward .Ready to be towed out and home :D

Apart from the little pic on your user name, I have never seen your 33 JB.
Looks great.
I need to work out how to scan photographs as I have found some pictures of my old S2 veloce. Mine was an '88 reg with the earlier Zender kit.
Sills, arches and a respray with a S3 interior. Loved it. Does yours need much work?

Hi kieth
The usual work . Welding on jacking points. Got some power working today .Hazards and lights to help when towing it home. I have plans . More weight reduction and upgrades plus full respray ;)
If you're got a smartphone ,you can get apps to scan or just photography with the camera. Be cool to see your old 33 8-)
When it was in good nick

It's home now kev . Was a bit of mission getting it out of the old garage . As it's -7 and in an alleyway. So have to swing it out . Plus the rear left and front right tires went flat lol . Thankfully it's doesn't weigh much . Was fun towing it home . Bonus the brakes worked sort of :D
Now in its place . Cosy but dry and not damp. Ready for me to start . So I'll start a new thread in the builds section soon. :)

Back in the early days of my 33 ownership, way back when AO was the place to be, this car represented everything I wanted mine to become.

Delighted to see it making a comeback!
