Astro's GG-0351 coupe build.

Post by Astro »

Hi all - as the title suggests I've just bought a '65 hardtop C LHD auto.
There are a few things to do before getting it registered but the aren't major, the "Mexican" paint job will have to wait :$
I'm not planning a rotisserie resto but I will be taking my time with this and driving it whilst doing so.
Fortunately my neighbour has a beautiful Chevelle SS soft top and is a wise man with a shed full of tools and plenty of time on his hands.
Will get some photos up soon...
Cheers
John

Welcome John.

nice addition to the garage mate!
(PRAYER) Oh thank you Wild Turkey American Honey & Cola in those small thin bottles, for giving me the strength to act like a half wit, and say stupid things at inappropriate times, semi-anonymously, on a public forum.
Amen.

Said neighbour's son is in the biz - that's a bit down the track tho, current paintjob should be good enough for rego.

A couple of holes in the floor to be cut and welded, rest is surface rust :mrgreen:
