Highlighting some of our current projects.
Lola T9300 Indycar Ex-A.J. Foyt Racing,
Ex- robby gordon - finished!
This Lola T9300 arrived to us in okay condition. Especially since it was stored for many years in a 20Ft. tag trailer next to the Pacific ocean. Most of the parts were there to make it a complete, running car. What was missing was the wiring harness, data acquisition system. Due to the storage conditions it required a lot of corrosion removal, plating, anodizing and polishing. The paint and graphics were in remarkable condition. The gearbox case showed a lot of corrosion which required bead blasting. The gearbox internals were perfect. The Cosworth Ford XB engine was another story. Upon inspection it was found to have suffered serious internal damage. With engine damaged and the electronics missing, we held a conference with our client. It was decided to install the damaged engine and turn into a complete looking display car. It turned out be a very pleasing looking car!
Wildcat Mk8B ex- patrick racing, Ex-Mario andretti Finsihed and ready to go!
This Indy car is a Wildcat Mk8B designed by Gordon Kimball and built by Patrick Racing in 1982. It is powered by a Cosworth Ford DFX engine. The driver was Mario Andretti.
We received it in the condition that it last raced at Phoenix International Raceway, plus the ravages of time. We completely restored the car, including the gearbox and engine. Plus enhanced the appearance into a show stopping appearance. Hopefully it will make an appearance at Goodwood.
