350-g60

This was an easy project, compared to some in the past. She's a 1973 G60 with a 350 chev, turbo 400. So, she scoots along quite well. ATM she's straight gas but will have petrol shortly. Anyway, enough dribble, onto the pics

The PO took the roof off to fix the rust, but found it was too hard.

In case you were wondering, the car was too tall to fit in the shed, hence the rims with no tyres.

When you soak body panels in molasses this is how it turns out.

I was sure SteveO was meant to be coming down here to sort me Torrie out:confused:

Always admire people who can do that kind of work. Thanks for sharing, it looks great!

Thanks guys, But I cant take any credit, Stevo does all the work.

And, G, do your own damn car, there's a waiting list 10 mile long here.

Looks awesome. Really well done. I would love to do a resto on an Mk shorty.

See AB! The front of the 60. You can see a woodfire oven in the middle and a ledge on either side to rest your beverage.

If the colour of your money is right !!

So, any ideas on how to run a second gas tank as a 'jerry can'? We just want to strap a second one in the tray for now, until we get the fuel sorted..
Oh, any one got a G60 snorkel they dont want ??

Awesome work Stevo! Can't wait to see it! Was up in sale all this weekend and was spewing you guys were away, would've called in for a squiz

Great photos! He is a master at it that's for sure. I enjoy working on my truck, but the amount of work getting into all that rust, that would depress me.

Soooooo.. When can I book my gq in??

Awesome job. Great finish
