Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I thought I would share my restoration with you. It all started about 3 years ago when I found this car on Ebay. Long story short, it needed ALOT more work than described in the auction. Alot of dedication, $$$, and restoration manuals have brought me to where I am now with it. I had to replace both fenders, both quarters, hood, front valance, roof, floors, upper dash, and a bunch of other small areas needed work. All I have left to restore now is the interior, and front end brakes and suspension. I am currently in the UK and my car is in the States waiting for me to get back and finish up. I won't be able to do that for about 3 years so all I can do now is start gathering all the parts and pieces I need while I'm here so they will be ready when I get back to it. I am posting some pictures to show the start to finish (present) process. Sorry about the file sizes, I have no idea how to downsize them. You can click on the link by my signature for the site that has all the resto pics. If anyone elase is restoring a first gen, please leave a reply with some pics.
