Finished: Resto by Regan

[cookbw]

So my car is finally finished. I picked it up just before xmas. Merry Christmas to me!!

Well, here are a few first pics of the car, a '73 3.0 CSi, that was restored by Regan Seegraves. He sent about 350 pics during the process and I just need to get them into an online web album, but here are some highlights for now. I'm VERY satisfied with the work he did. He was able to get things done very inexpensively and the results are truly fantastic!

Always have a soft spot for restored coupes. Very nice and congratulations!

Very sweet looking car. Black is not all that common and is one of my favourite colours for the CS coupe lines.

Looks really beautiful... congrats.

Is it, in fact, black? Almost looks dark blue in some shots. Nice either way.
