Its undergoing a big refurb at the moment, I have replaced the roof to get rid of the old glass sunroof. Next jobs are replacing all 4 floorpans and a 5 link kit on the rear axle. Its been in the garage for over a year so far but I will take some pics when I work on it next

And he/we spent most of this afternoon (yes, in the heat and the sun) painting the engine up, nice blue with white rocker cover and cam cover and pulley. Rocker cover has blue stripes on it to match the engine so we're going white and blue all the way! lol ohmygod - I suppose that now means we're going to have to do the damn brake drums too!!!! eeek!!!!!!
