It’s been quite a few years posting about Toby’s project and the ups and downs that go with it. The fact that I had never actually seen the car in person yet knew just about everything about it meant there was only one more thing to do. That was to go and see it for myself. Unfortunately due to work commitments I’ve been overseas for a few years so when I had a chance to come back to Sydney and go and see the car I was way too excited.

That’s right. After years of posting, talking, gloating and crying Toby’s Eleanor project has finally been completed! The lucky guy took delivery from John just before Christmas and am delighted to say that all has gone well and Toby is over the moon.

I know I’m always saying how close Toby’s car is from completion. I’ve probably been repeating myself for months and months. But as we all know with restorations like this anything can happen. A few weeks back I posted on Toby’s overheating issues, the last hurdle before delivery. Turns out the problem was not a simple one. It involved buying a whole new engine!

It’s been quite some time since I posted about Toby’s project. It was almost finished back in June but since then John had quite a few setbacks. But now the car is days away from being shipped to Toby. There’s just a small overheating problem to overcome.

It’s been quite some time since I posted an update on Toby’s Eleanor project. The car has been ever so close to completion for quite a while. This week John over at the shop gave us an update. He’s been working ever so hard all whilst volunteering for the cleanup from the recent Australian floods.

So we’ve had some setbacks towards the back half of this year which has pushed Toby’s and my cars back a bit, but seeing these new pictures just gets me excited. They are pretty self explanatory. Check them out after the jump.

Some good progress this week on Toby’s Project with the front end coming together quite nicely. John spent most of last weekend
