This one took a bit of effort. The trim was perished to the point it could not even be used as a pattern, the body had more curves than Beyonce, the engine wouldn't run above idle, the carburettor bowl had been pop riveted and epoxied together. Due to a broken window birds had nested in the concealed light section in the rear compartment and possums enjoyed the comfort of the rear seats. The chrome had tarnished, the timbers bleached, the exhaust and radiator were blocked and the doors would swing open as you cornered - true suicide doors! The car ended up being a full interior strip, most of the original wiring removed, the body was blasted to bare metal and a patient panel-beater spent many hours bringing the body and chassis back from several accidents and poor previous repairs.

 This car had been neglected for a number of years by a number of owners. The current owner decided that keeping the car in this state was bordering on a crime.

Two years later and you have a totally different car!
