Reliant Scimitar SE5a

The scimi as I picked her up, a few things to sort out for sure but not a bad looker other than the shoddy paint on the bonnet and a few other places with runs and chipping. Will have to re-spray quite a lot of the car I fear.

 

A month has passed and its running better now, has a SS fuel tank, radiator flushed, thermostat fitted, and some sweet new alloys and tyres. LOADS of parts still to fit but weather hasn't been in my favour.

Getting better with the camera and the new flashgun, and some filter stuff with Photoshop.

With the suspension lowered, poly bushed and rebuilt it was all looking good, now with the alloys fitted it really does scrub up nice and I'm happy with its stance again

Alas the time comes to sell her as I want to concentrate on my bikes and slightly smaller projects. What a blast it has been owning her though! A great driving machine that never failed to put a smile on my face! I'm going to miss her but hopefully she can go to someone who will have the time to finish off the few last niggly things and make her immaculate
