Astro's GG-0351 coupe build.
Hi all - as the title suggests I've just bought a '65 hardtop C LHD auto.
There are a few things to do before getting it registered but the aren't major, the "Mexican" paint job will have to wait
I'm not planning a rotisserie resto but I will be taking my time with this and driving it whilst doing so.
Fortunately my neighbour has a beautiful Chevelle SS soft top and is a wise man with a shed full of tools and plenty of time on his hands.
Will get some photos up soon...
Cheers
John

(PRAYER) Oh thank you Wild Turkey American Honey & Cola in those small thin bottles, for giving me the strength to act like a half wit, and say stupid things at inappropriate times, semi-anonymously, on a public forum.
Amen.
Amen.

Said neighbour's son is in the biz - that's a bit down the track tho, current paintjob should be good enough for rego.
A couple of holes in the floor to be cut and welded, rest is surface rust
