Standard Big 9 Restoration Story
Frank Williams from
the Wirral has
rebuilt this Big 9 over a period approaching 20 years. Persistence pays, as you can see by the magnificent
results above, pictured at this year's International Rally. The
initial project was, I think you will agree, pretty much
a wreck. Who
would think it once looked like the pictures below. You can click on
any of them to see a larger version.
Congratulations Frank,
you are an inspiration to us all who have a similar project lurking
in our garages. Come on guys, it can be done, as Frank has
demonstrated to you.
The bodywork: you can see the new
metal let into the rear panel. No inner wheel arches yet.

The inside was sufficient to provide

And on the return trip from the painters, things are
starting to look decidedly better |
Work is never finished
of course, there are many small details that Frank would like to
complete. But lets face it, all those can be done whilst he is out
using the car.
Thank you for the
photos.
I am aware that there are other cars
and information that could be added to this site to make it more comprehensive, so if you
have material and photographs, please let me know. Please send me, Phil Homer, a
