Dino Restoration

Value adding is what I would call this project as most of what is being done is over and above what was provided from the factory. this car could never be concourse but is definitley an art form and in many respects better than the original.

 

Jeez - that car looks radioactive.....

Can anyone identify the shade of metallic blue on the second car? Unfortunately it is largely hidden by my blue scuro dino, which I regretably sold.
p.s I think the blue dino met looks fantastic

A lady friend visited our home this weekend and wanted to see the Dino, which we had just polished up for a shoot for the local Shell calendar. I have halogen lights in my garage, which flatters the paintwork and curves.

She took one look at the Dino and gasped. "That's the exact shade of blue - with some metallic - that I've been looking for for my eye shadow!" she said.

I told her it was Dino Blue Metallic.

This is all true, I'm afraid.

Omgjon, I write from the UK where a friend has been telling me about the work you are doing to your GTS.

I had to look at your pictures, in fact so impressed was I that I spent the whole evening and well into the small hours studying every one of your photos. I know that is really sad of me!!

To say that I am impressed is a massive understatement! Your work and dedication to the project deserves an award!

I tried the same with my boys and an old rusty camper van, fairly soon i was alone in the cold wet english spring, the boys indoors. Your son is clearly motivated too.

Please do not be offended but could you tell us how you manage to afford so much time, and money! what is your background? Are or were you an engineer for instance?

Please tell us if you are in any way qualified to carry out this fantastic work.

Have you done this sort of thing before?

Many Many people are talking about this project over here, please help me to fill in the blanks.

I watch in eager anticipation.

Jon - I meant to post this prior to your receiving the special tool. Take note of the orientation of the flat roller bearings that sit between the transfer gears and the housing. One side of these bearings have a ridge for oil flow, while the other does not. The book mentions that upon reassembly, the ridge should be facing the housing (I think?). Did you happen to notice the orientation upon disassembly?
