EB 1821 Restoration Diary



Deep thanks to Randall Fehr of Randall Fehr Restorations for most of the work documented below and all of the organizational skill it took to hold this project together, to Bill Hutton and his team at Hutton Motor Engineering for stepping in to turn a basket case into a highly tuned race engine, to David Mousley of Mk 14 Components without whose astonishing inventory of parts and knowledge a restoration of this scale could not have been completed, and to Greg Soter of Phantom Restorations for his meticulous preparation, painting, and finishing of the body unit.  Thanks also to Mike Ostrov, Peter Joy, Tony Mantle, and Horst Auer for their expert advice and encouragement along the way.
