i have just finished rebuilding a teardrop from the chassis up its taken almost a year to complete .the car had been in storage for around 40 years ,the problem was the storage was an old barn with more holes than barn .we had most of the original panels to use as templates although they had been battered over the years .i could safely say this has been the most rewarding car to have worked on .it will be on a long trip home back to Monaco very soon .we did take loads of stage photos but was asked by our customer not to publish them .but we could have them on display at our workshop

Hi
Did you see the Bristol based teardrop that was created a few years ago?

Wayne,
Teardrop looks an awesome car to restore, you must be a very skilled craftsman to restore one of them, can you post any examples of your work.

Cheers
Martin
