LP400 S3 - 1121374 - Nut and Bolt Restoration

Joe,
Sure that the factory did not overpainted the rivets in flat or semi gloss black? I think they did...
BTW looks like a stunning restoration!

 

Yes, restoration still in progress.

 

which piston brand they opted for ?

 

I'll check next time I'm there.

thank you !

i have seen CPS as well as others

 

This LP400S S3 when completed will be epic, if what I have seen so far is any indication.

 

With spats on!

 

The rear lenses have been properly refurbished, so they are clean & clear without streaks and the typical tarnishing you see on the cars after 30-plus years.

This is often overlooked

Haven’t checked in on this thread in a while. WOW! Chris, this is turning out awesome. Congrats and kudos to the resto crew!!!

 

Sorry, I got sidetracked today with test-driving a car, all in good time.

The work that goes into these full-restorations is mind-blowing

 

Stunning!!!!!

 

Third thread tonight where I've made this comment, but I just appreciate this behind-the-scenes access. We never got to see this 30 years ago when Road & Track was our sole window to the world. I guess I should also thank Al Gore for the interweb too, huh? Back to the task at hand: the contrast of the black subject matter against the red 275 GTB is also sublime. Thanks CNP and Mr. Sackey. Best to all, John in CT.
