Well I thought I would post the progress of the ridiculous amount of projects I have on the go at the moment......
First up is this 1977 Trans Am, imported by me this year from San Diego in Sunny CA, car was originally shit colour by moonlight as you will see from the first pic but she was 98% rust free, really solid underneath etc, with only some minor rust around the rear window on either side and a bit around the bottom of the offside rear quarter, all now eradicated!
Few bits were not working when I got her, A/C had been disconnected long ago and lots of bits missing, speedo had failed, replaced with a spare I had, seat belts had been cut out except for the lap belts, and lots of other annoying little faults but generally a great car to work with and no rust!
She went through the MoT ok, thought I would get her tested to see how she was before spending shed loads of money on her....
Strip down, body prep and priming then followed,
Then the colour was applied to the newly prepped body, chose an old Vauxhall Gold colour from the seventies, thought about doing her black but then its just another black trans am, and as she has no t-tops it ain't worth it
And thats about where she is today, taken about a month to get her to this stage, all the other panels are sprayed so she just needs the screens replaces, and putting back together.
New headlining, carpet and refurbed dash, console, trims etc all ready to go in, new rubber door and window seals all round, refurbed black snow flakes with new BF G. rubber. New Flowmaster exhaust fitted before she came over the pond.
Trying me hardest to get her finished to a good standard as quick as I can, need to sell her to fund the other projects, will be posting them separately and will keep updating till they are done!
Gotta lay off the beer though..... :drunk:
