Hi all,
Thought I would share a little about my ride and the progress of my resto.
The car itself is the last one ever built. Was manufactured as a retirement gift for my grandfather who was the foreman of the GM factory in the 80's.
After buying it back from the kid my grandmother sold it to 5 years earlier it's been garaged with me for about 7 years while I saved up funds. Currently has 180ish on the clock.
Needs some minor panel beating, bare metal respray ($$$!) and fresh cosmetics.
Still in the disassembly stage of the job at the moment but as someone who knows very little about cars I'm really enjoying learning how everything works.
The goal is to have it almost in original condition with just a few tweaks to it. Eg neaten up the engine bay, maybe a really subtle reduction in height and a modern sound system and a few bits and pieces to give the motor a bit of extra power.
Will post a few pics below as the job progresses.
Would love to have any tips from anyone that's done one of these before.
