Hi Forum,
Thought io woyuld get around to posting the progress of my soon to be Wedding car.
When i got this ol girl, about 4 years ago,the interior was shot,bench seat destroyed but the rest was in pretty good nick.
Original rego, which has been paid for 53 years now, (should have free rego for life)
Colour acording to code - India Ivory /Crystal Blue
it had holes in the roof from where the sunvisor was , a trailer plug screwed to the rear,
not the origial motor- has now a 138 from an EJ i assume? and had always been garaged .
I am the 3rd Owner and the second owner had it for 1 year.
So I was torn weather to restore to original or Mod... SO i had a compramise.
I am slightly "doing up" it to what my dad would have done in the 60's
Saying that i have all the origial bits and peices to go back.
So my aim is to-
Deep dish rims -Done
Slightly lower front and back- yet to be done
Install Carpets and underlay- Done
Twin stromys and extractors- Yet to be done
Tint windows- Yet to be done
New Paint- 80% done
Everything else is stock including brakes etc.
The only thing i am changing ( and purists will cringe)
is that i have changed the color of the Dash from Crystal Blue to India Ivory( reverse of original)
The main reason i am doing this is I have always had my heart set on a India Ivory over Red ,
I Doubt i will ever get to get my hands on this so in years to come i may Paint it that way.
Personally i like the white dash anyway.
Here are some flicks if it works
