Pics :)

Got a shot of my collection, lol. I want one of each 70's Hardtop. I have the two Galants now and a GE Scorpion just need the GTO :)

superscan811's GH Scorpion at the front, My GE Scorpion at the rear, my A112 and A53 Galants in the shed :)
Image

Better shot of new door trims. New material but also new boards :thumpsup: Still need holes cut for locks and window winders.
Image

Sweet GA seats front and rear but sadly the buckets don't flip forward so the hunt begins for genuine A53H GS seats. I have the factory rear (need re upholstering badly) but need the buckets.

The 2nd gen stuff has the correct text so will do if I need to use them but would prefer the original style

Yeah, fully lined pit with power points and lights :)
Love my pit but still would prefer a hoist :thumpsup: I have no problem fitting a gearbox on my own but climbing up and down narrow steps into the pit with a gearbox on my shoulder is a fuck up waiting to happen :P

I promise I will stop at a GTO, but it has to be an A53C so I guess if I find an A57C first then I will still need the 53 ;-)
This will be a very slow build, stage one is to finish stripping it once I secure some windscreen rubbers then get it soda blasted. Once I have assessed the work needed it wil be sent away to have the rear 1/4 replaced and go from there. I don't see the panel replacement happening this side of July.

Yeah mate, just pushes on, didn't even have to remove the steering wheel, lol. It is only there for pics and giggles. As above the whole car will be stripped for blasting next year.

Out in the shed last night and was looking at the faded gray glovebox and dash, so I broke out the prepsol, sand paper and a screw driver.
Pulled them to bits, cleaned them up and hit them with some satin black.
When I got home tonight I polished the plastic lenses and re assembled with my new badge.

Not sure how to tackle the silver edging that I clearly sanded off and painted black, lol.
I am thinking silver paint pen?? Thoughts, ideas?
