Also found a nice article in the 1970 British racing magazine "Autosport" about the all new 1-3 GTM version. I thought it would be nice to place it, as I intend to make my car the same except for the Cosmics, the wheels will be JAPearce 5x10. But... before that a lot of work is required !!!

A quick update of my Heerey GTM. Last time the whole suspension was still on the chassis, that is taken of now, so what's left is a bare chassis in a very bad condition. This means that I have to rebuild the chassis as most of the panels are non-original or in such a poor state that they can't be saved. Well that's what you can expect, when you buy such a old car in a incomplete condition, so I will put the shoulders under it and make it as new during the comming years.

I will start with the chassis first. This will be done at a friends place as he has the skills to weld it and give the chassis the rebuild it should have. In the meantim I will fix the bodyshell in our garage. After that I will rebuild the suspension, but first there are the hardest jobs to tackle

Some pictures below. By the way, I have found someone who has two wooden 15" Les Leston steering wheels for sale, dihsed and in a very good condition. I have bought one, there is still one left. So if there's anyone who wants to grab a bargain, let me know.


People can do strange things with subframes .......

Yes, the Minifins (original) are still with the car!



It's looking a bit sad now .....


That's it for now, when there's any more news I will give you an update!

Time, water and steel - a very good companion! They can do some real good party! Unfortunatly the hangover passes to the owner .

Nice minifins anyway. My Cox only had one.
