Hey there, below is a quick pic. I'm looking to sort it out and perform a repair on the driver's fender, in the meantime the forum is helping me identify what color it is. It's got Russet (I think) interior with a replacement GM V6 engine. I'm OK with the engine as it's a rolling restoration that I can drive while getting it sorted. I definitely want to convert the bumpers too. It joins my 450SLC as a rolling resto and bumper conversion.

I had my F Type out for a short jaunt a few weeks ago during one of the warm weekend days.

St. Patricks Day will be here soon, of course that usually begats 2.5 months of weather like today LOL

I likely had my timing chain slip and need a tech that can redo my heads. Can anyone recommend anyone in chicago, chicago burbs or NW indiana? I was going to take it to euro toys but he no longer wants to do the work.

@Linas Zymantas I just read your post history. Ouch. I think you're going to have to make a difficult decision.

Yes, not ideal. The car itself is rust free and in great condition. I know its going to be expensive, but i'm hoping to keep this one on the road if possible.
