Well I thought it was only fair to start of a Resto thread for Hugo.

A bit of history:
He was bought 16 years ago by the previous owner (Gary) and I think he spent the whole 16 years in storage!! Gary and a few friends decided to strip he right back and start from scratch from what I can tell, Generally they have done a bloody good job and he is 100% solid although a couple bits of welding could of been better!!
Gary first offered Hugo and an oval to us about 6 months ago and after months of us being messed around we finally got to view him.
With Loads of help from Frizz and Rich we managed to trundle up to Eastern Gordano and bring him back on the back of a trailor. Heres some pics of him travelling to his new home.

He came with literally everything needed to put him back together again (minus and engine and new box). And fingers crossed will look amazing once Rich has worked his magic on him!! I am already looking forward to taking him to a couple of shows before he finds a new home!

Fingers crossed work will start on Hugo over the next few weeks. We have decided on Titian red and beige. But for the time being I have bought him some curtains!!.

Whilst you got the box out mate, knock it down a splice on the rear, so it'll ride about the same height as mine was before I starting attacking her Twisted Evil

I'll probably pop down later this morning if you're going to be there Smile
