Picked up a new project today.....

Post by USspecGT » Sat Jun 23, 2007 5:01 pm

Hi all,

Went and picked up a new restoration project today. She's a little rusty but I think with a little TLC I can have her ready for my local upcoming show in September.

Let me know what you think....

Wow! It will need some serious work! But hey, it has as least 2 of its wheel arch trims still on which is not bad, plus it seems to have Jubilee centre caps on the wheels!! :lol:

Yes the rust repairs may be a little headache, but it has a low mileage on the dash and judging by the low amount of wear on the pedals I think it may be genuine!

This baby is a keeper for sure!
