7mroadster Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 During Hurricane Harvey this Birkin was flooded in my garage to just above the engine. I lost several other cars but firmly committed that Harvey was NOT going to take all my cars. After getting the house rebuild in order, I started on the tear down, cleaning (there was mud in everything and everwhere). Fortunately the transmission had almost no water and no mud. Flush the transmission and rearend several times, removed covers and inspected throughly. Cleaned, rewired, new instruments, ECU, headlights, seats, carpet, engine, and other items. Many thanks to Tom Carlin for his help in the effort. She is running now, but still some tuning. I did add a few things, new paint (was green and gray), true blinker indicators, phone charger outlet, carbon fiber dash, new scuttle and better seats and carpet. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14043&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14044&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14045&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14046&stc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nice work! I like the headlights, they give the car an ominous Praying Mantis look. What size are your wheels? They look big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7mroadster Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 They were on the car when I bought it. I believe Dick Brink supplied them to the original owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
