Axistr new project

[axistr]

Thanks for the comments guys, Defiantly my favorite car to get out on a good day, Ha Ha yes has all the mod cons including A/C. My old man took me to see a James Bond movie when I was around six. The movie stared a DB5. Ever since that day I desired to own an Aston, only took me fifty years later to get one. I didn't buy it to impress anyone but myself. When I take the M3 out not many people take any notice, when we take one of the Toranas out we get thumbs up all the time. When I take the Aston out you see jaws drop, people stop and let you out in traffic so they can see the front back and side of the car.

Ha Ha Gene I only have one daughter and my son isn't gay so your out of luck there, and it might be to late for adoption papers.

Rear shot from the day I picked it up from the dealership and fell in love.

Somewhat Gene, bonnet, guards, front splitter, rear defuser, skirts are all carbon fiber, so hand made, not sure about the doors. The body monocock is all aluminum and pressed aluminum outer panels bonded to it. The car is still sent down an assembly line. I suppose they are still more hand built than most cars but not like the Astons made in the sixties. When they build a car they take a photo of your car at every stage of the build. The photo album has around 120 photos. Being a Pommy car they come with a very big umbrella with its own little hide hole. Ha Ha don't thing I will ever use that one. Its only been out in the dark once since have owned it, only to check that the light work, don't want to get night bugs on it.

Price check,

I have a pair of front doors left over from the panno build. They have been in storage for three year. I got bored with this bloody covid lock down and decided it would give me something to do and restore the doors. They looked in very poor condition and almost turfed them. After stripping all the paint I was very surprised how good they are. No rust in one and only a easy rust repair in the other. Had a couple of small dents, tapped them out and file finished. They have the original door skins and had the original red oxide primer under six coats of paint. Obviously the original rust proofing saved these doors from the scrap yard. I will epoxy prime high fill and block them ready for sale when finished.

So the question is what are these doors worth these days ?
