No way near as much work as you've done on yours I suspect.
Mechanically - new clutch, rear wheel bearings replaced, handbrake installed (they took it out..), radiator cleaned and new baffle installed, steering rack re-built, new suspension bushes front and rear, sway bar bushes replaced, carby serviced, whole bunch of re-wiring to get it all sorted, new guages, new tach, new speedo cable, new switches. Then the cosmetics, rust removed, re-skinned the front hood, window mouldings and rubbers on the front screen. New SPAL fans on the original radiator - 14" sucker on one side to the drivers side and 14" pusher on the other passenger side of the rad.
Mario the guy here who did my paint was excellent. I charged him to get it looking good but keep as much of the paint history as possible on the car. So the original bronze metallic is still there, the yellow and then the first black from fast 5 then the coat you see now. I think there's less bog on it than there was before which is great.
Body is in gloss jet black and all the trims are in a satin / matte.
Lots to go still yet with engine, engine bay, interior... but one step at a time.
Drives well actually for a 46 year old car. I love getting out in her and feeling how she responds to things. Seeing as she's not really been driven since the movie we're just easing her back into life on the road.

I just reviewed this post from the beginning. What a great looking result!
What mechanical work did you have to do to get her on the road? How does she drive?
