Everything was dismantled down to the last nut bolt and washer, finding a modification by the previous owner to gain more leg room by cutting out the rear bulkhead to install the half-moon shape as in later E-Types.  Unfortunately he had this modification done in fibreglass, which bonded to the steel so the rear bulkhead lost a lot of its strength and virtually broke in half – CMC put it back to how it would have been originally.
