I have recently heard from Phil Whitmore with an update on the restoration of his Electron Minor 403 MOO, he has made some good progress and hopefully 2014 may see another Fairthorpe back on our roads.
I will let Phil give you an update:-
`We have now fitted the fabricated outriggers on the chassis and it is presently at the shot blasters for cleaning and zinc plating so hopefully it will see another 50 years! The engine and gearbox have been apart for inspection, cleaning and painting whilst the shell now sits in 3 parts whilst we work our way through some nasty damage that was bodged up on the rear quarters and the time consuming removal of all the crazing. Other work has seen me prototyping some fiberglass seats molded off of the one barely intact original seat we had with the car....time and trimming will tell!`
Phil kindly sent some pictures as well, a few of which I have included here, I will update you with his progress as the restoration moves forward, an email a couple of days later included a picture of the chassis back from the shot blasters.
