My Project Car



About

I purhcased this car and my parts car for $1500 AU around the end of 2002. The majority of parts, badges etc were there and the previous owner had begun transfering the black vinyl from the parts car to replace the creamy interior.

The outside had been sprayed flat black and it looks like it was done with a pressure can pack :s Previously the car had been sprayed red and the original car was metallic gold.

The Original Car

Progress

Exterior of car has been sanded and primed

All internals pulled out except for wiring harness, air-con and steering column
