Retirement is over Cesil

rstoughy · 31-07-2019, 10:58 AM

So decided that after a long 4 years the CSL had to be taken out of storage and recommissioned for use.

This has however quickly become a restoration project

After a long time laid up it was out in the daylight again, loaded up and on its way back to my workshop for the work to begin.

Full underside restoration required and a bit of bodywork to be done.

Keep us updated

Mine will only be retired when I can't drive it anymore. Now getting used more as I have stopped working.

Been racing the last 4 years so not had the time (or money) to spend on the CSL. I've taken a year out to get all the cars back to 100% so looking forward to getting it back on the road.

I will keep the post updated as it is a good record of the work. Its all to easy these days with Facebook to upload a picture every now and then and within a year its lost in the 1000's of others.

Mine started with a diff upgrade and ended up with the whole rear end being done
