Sterling 2v8 restoration almost done

Fri Feb 20, 2015 1:35 am

Well, after purchasing Cory's 2v8 I got right to work restoring it. Got the motor back from the shop today and it turns out the only thing wrong with it was the brushes! They reinsulated and cleaned everything up real nice and installed new brushes and bearings. Tomorrow I will drop off everything at the paint shop and after purchasing new hardware for it will hopefully have it done in 2 weeks.

Once again, hands down, the best looking 2V8 out there! Very nice restoration!
