work in progress


Back in the 60's and '70, cars were being engineered to last only a few years, and very few all original examples have survived.

Paint fades, parts fail, interior's wear and eventually rot, dashes disintegrate, and metal rusts. So you can expect to go through a major restotration at some point.

Here's some restoration examples...
