I
purchased this old girl in October 2007, I had one as a young guy my 1 st thought was to get a GTS monaro which
I also had as a young guy. Things quickly
change when i saw how much the where going for and settled for
Australians answer to the '57 chev.
She arrived, fitter with a red 186s trimatic, Hr disk brake front end, hadfield chassis
and generous amounts of rust bog and duct tape. And a trailer load of
spare panels
The work started
stripping it to metal, welding, grinding and blasting the rust and paint
sadly sending it off for commercial blasting was out side the budget.
She is currently
at the undercoat stage and i wont be painting her until later in the
year.
So its on to rewiring and mechanical items, at this
stage i will be retaining the 186 and trimatic, maybe a V6 at a later
stage
Im still undecided on the final colour my daughter says
candy apple red .. No way i say most likely factory colours yellow and
white.
If you want have a better look at what im doing to her
