Toby’s Eleanor project

Well I thought I would show you all my friend Toby’s project. Toby is a friend of mine who also lives in Sydney and owns a 1968 Fastback. It was converted to RHD some time ago but upon sending it to the guys to have it turned into an Eleanor it became apparent there was a lot of work that needed doing or re-doing.

The car is currently with the conversion guys (where mine is headed after the body is fitted) There was a lot of work to do with his conversion as it appeared it was done very shabbily originally. The car is set to go to the body guys soon where they will work on it along with mine.

I don’t have Toby’s car particulars with me but I will get them and post them up. But for now here are some progress pics to keep you busy.

  4. [...] Apologies for the lack of updates, It’s been very quiet over here in Australia with a very cold winter work has slowed down. Unfortunately last week we had an accident in the shop. While working on my friend Toby’s Eleanor project one of the body guys almost severed his hand. I’m not too sure how it happened as I can’t get to the shop but work was halted for a while. Now while he recovers we are one man down. [...]

  5. [...] It’s been a long time since I posted about the project of my friend, Toby. His Eleanor has been the ‘other woman’ in the equation and whilst my car rests up in the shed Toby’s car is undergoing a faster restoration, mainly due to Toby’s tighter deadlines. [...]
