Colour: Smoke Grey
1968 Smoke Grey Traveller. I have owned it for 6 years and had only one
previous owner. Nevertheless, even with its history and the fact that it was
taxed and MOT’d when I got it, it still needed plenty of work. After an
initial clutch change so I could use it for a few months, I took it off the road
for six months to carry out major renovation work.
This included:
Replacement of sills, suspension crossmember, rear inner wings, boot floor,
front wings and one rear wing, front inner wing repair panels.
Strip and bleach wood, replace 30% with new.
Full re-spray and corrosion protection.
Fit Fiesta XR2 front seats.
Front anti-roll bar.
Miniator alloy wheels.
The car has been kept almost standard and can be made original by swapping
the wheels and the seats etc. I did this because it is worth keeping a one owner
car as original as possible.
