    Thank you gents. Its been raining since it showed up, so I have not put even a 1/2 mile on it. But I can tell you that the paint & leather are world class. The fit & finish exceptional. There are a few small bits but I will work on them myself. It floors me how good looking an e-type is in person. To think cars like this roamed the streets pretty commonly back in the day... Its no Prius.

    And to think this all started in boxes.

    Well... So far so good. Put a few drives on it. Its pretty fine. I want to adjust the throttle travel (the stock linkage is a design fail) and move the A/C vents for a little better knee room, but thats about it. Its been a bit chilly so I have not driven it with the top down, but I will!

    What's great is you brought one back to life. In that condition, it could go either way -- restore or sell it for parts. But you decided to bring it back and that's just fantastic.
