hey guys havent done an update in a little while so here it goes.
not much has happened, the project is at a bit of a standstill, so far we have got the ride height perfect and also got a few little bits and peices that have gone onto the car, we also got a momo steering wheel for it, it looks great on the car.
Unfortunatly we can't do anything to the car now, we are waiting to pick up a new floor peice as one of them has been bashed in and pushed the floor around abit, once we get that then we send it off to the panel shop to get all the body work done.

Realisticaly the project should be finished by mid next year if all goes to plan.

Ill try an get a few pics up of where its at now later on this week.

What?! No GTS wheel? Are you serious?

Keen to see more pics of the project though.

 

[SP00KSTER]

yea, GTS wheel is expensive, we can always get one later as well, but this wheel looks really good + we got it for a good price

I remember how the chrome on the dash pieces used to fade and rub off and you were left with ugly white plastic.

That gearshift seems longer than I remember. It might be just that there's no console and rubber boot, but I recall that the shifter on the Saginaw was very stubby.

 

[SP00KSTER]

year that dash piece has seen better days, trying to find a decent one on ebay atm.
the gear shift is the standard height, probably because you can see where it goes below floor level and there is no surround it makes it look longer. like you said. and they are a very stubby shifter.

Looks good mate. Are those quarters and roof in bare metal? Should get some epoxy primer on those before they surface rust too much.

 

[SP00KSTER]

thanks mate, they have been coated in a clear epoxy primer to stop it from rusting.

Looks sensational mate. Coming along very nicely.
