Race E having the damaged section on the n/s rear wing cut out and new metal put in. At the same time as it's going to be a race car I cut out and welded up the damaged bumper mounting hole and put a new joint lip back in so it looks period correct. Even put some fake spot weld dimples in it ! 
When these two are back together it's going to be quite a tool !   Race E boot frame cleaned, repaired and rust proofed ready to fit a lightweight skin.   Jaguar E Type 3.8 roadster being stripped and showing signs of a rear end shunt at sometime in the states. Typical drill a hole, put a screw in it and pull bodge job ! So will need to be cut out and a new section made and welded in correctly. 
Had this lovely 68 El camino dropped off today with a failing gearbox and a very smokey exhaust. I'm thinking along the lines of a failed gearbox modulator but we will see in the morning. Feel a bit sorry for the owner as only recently purchased it. 
More progress on the Lotus. Engine bay being prepared ready to paint.. 
Jaguar Mk2 that came in for an engine rebuild and had quite a few other problems solved as well while it was here ready for it's MOT and can go back home.
