Bradan 348 paint job/reupholstery

Couldn't agree more! I just did a total interior restoration on my 348ss, so it's really nice to see another one getting this kind of attention. I'm enjoying this thread. Nice work guys!

 

Beautiful work there.

 

I was going to say! Lol

Just take you favorite cup of coffee/rum lean back and scroll through these pictures.. ahhh

I'm glad I'm not the only perfectionist out there!

Just looked at one 355 @70k with mismatch paint chips on the hood right in your face the size of dime!

As alway mega kudos to you guys @ Bradan!

 

Amazing work as always but wouldn't it have been more cost effective to just buy a mint 348?

Unless of course there's sentimental value in the car.

I look forward to giving my 355 this treatment one day!

 

You say this, but what is happening is the transition from used car to classic. This car is on the forefront of that. I have a feeling you'll see more and more of it in the coming years. it's that magical 25-30 year mark. There will be a reinvestment in restoration parts, and replica parts occuring. Lots of forgotten cars will come out of the woodwork, barn find stories will begin, as "in over their head" owners will give up.

This owner will end up with a perfect car, and basically will be considered zero mileage when finished.

who secretly wishes we could tag it like an elk to watch it's migration after completion.

 

Yeah but he chose the wrong interior color though.

 

...and perhaps the wrong exterior as well...we shall see.

Fantastic thread! I can't wait to see the old girl when it's all finished.

 

Any updates?

I love your threads!

 

I love these threads!

 

Super!

 

What's the latest on this project??

Would it be in poor taste to ask what a restoration of this magnitude would cost?

 

I haven't seen an update from Bradan in a while... although on their sub-forum (in the New York forum), they recently announced an expansion to include Bavarian cars - so perhaps they are overwhelmingly busy.

I love their threads (especially the F40) - I surely hope they do not disappear!
