Follow along as I attempt a restoration on my Stingray.
I origionally bought this car to have for weekend driving and so on, I had in mind to tidy up the overall basic apperance starting with the interior then wheels etc; but once I started to remove certan parts I soon realised that this is going to need a little more than a tidy up,
Of course this being a blog page the most recent work I have done will be displayed first.
(a bit like reading a book from back to front really)
To the right there ia a Restoration Archive so you can select older posts from start to finish.
