    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.

    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.
