Hey everyone,
Thought I would put some pics up of my baby... We started restoring it September last year, it was in a pretty bad way with rust had to replace doors, guards, bonnet, front apron, 2 new sills and the two rear quarters... Lot of late nights and pulling my hair out and we are just about there with it... Will post some final photos soon... It gets its motor this Sunday can not wait !!!! :)
Thanks
Bronte :):)

Awesome. All boxes ticked as far as I'm concerned. Nice wheels too, are those formula stars? (I have no idea)

What's the colour? It's not quite black is it?

Also putting a 5 speed box in it... Yes that's them 14"x 6" on the front and 14"x 6.5 on the rear... Its more like a purple started off black then added a heap of pink pearl into the clear...
