and another one of my old builds returns

Post by Mick »

another car i built 24 or 25 odd years ago has come back into my possession :D it's another one that over the years i've seen pop up for sale from time to time but never at the right time :( once again facebook to the rescue a fella posted pics i messaged him he was in the process of buying it, bit of back and forth messaging he was only getting it to flip it but still was a little pricey for me (oh well i've never been a car collector 1 has always been plenty) it went to ebay he told me he sold it :( so it was gone again fast forward to a couple of weeks ago once again some pics turned back up on facebook so i asked i thought you sold it? he said nah he got dicked around :think: :thumbsup: he then said he was going to advertise it again soon at a much better price than before i thought i shouldn't but can't leave it there at that price so said i'de take it, it turned out to be quite a mission getting it through unanswered messages etc but finally it's back in my driveway 8) :thumbsup:

I reckon the lid needs lowering whilst you've got it back Mick.

There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.

It looks a lot straighter or is it the matte paint is more forgiving Mick?

Now paint the dash.

the paint was blotchy which made it look bad, looking at it in person it looks worse not that it's bad

I thought I saw an ad on GUM TREE the other day from a guy who was looking to buy a car like this ?

Something on the lines of wanted, car converted and there was a picture of a black wagon / commercial similar to yours Mick.
