The Strip down starts




Well after looking at the E Type for a few weeks, today I started the strip down.  Out with the seats and centre console, radio panel etc.  The car has never been apart, its pretty obvious from everything that I am taking off.  The gearbox would only select 1st and 2nd.  this was because the swivel union on the top of the selector tower was seized.  I took this off and free it off, but it afforded me the opportunity to take a look at the gearbox which looks like it is mint.  There is no wear whatsoever on the selectors and the inside of the gearbox is pretty much mint.  I only hope the syncros, such as they are on e Moss, are as good as the rest of it looks.  Here are some photos .
