Good stuff Dave, looks like you have got things well planned out.

Any details on your brothers Victor project, out of interest?

Hopefully it will come together

my brothers project is a 1977 Victor FE VX2300 which he plans on completing in a Hotrod/Drag style, and has sourced a 3.9ltr Rover V8, 5 speed box and narrowed BMW 320 axle for it

He's finished the welding repairs in the bodyshell which is now ready for prepping and paint...just that rice burner to get out of the way so he can paint his and start on mine

Fair play for undertaking such a project. Keep up the great work!

That '91 GTO looks very sweet, too!

Cheers mate

the riceburner has its MOT and has now vacated my brothers garage, which means the Charger is now 1 more step closer to its slot in there

Hi all, been a while since I did anything, since returning from Scotland the garage has been pretty useless for working in...as to keep herself happy it was turned into a storage space for a new kitchen which I've spent the last few months fitting.
Anyhow with that all finished save for a touch up of the door frames I got back to the cave, had a tidy up and got the fenders out of the shed for a look over. The o/s has more rust than the n/s but otherwise they are both reasonably solid

Also got to decide what to do with the instrument surround as it was hacked for a stereo before I bought it and badly painted

The Fenders look pretty good, I am sure I have used worse!

looks solid from the photos, just a good clean (sand blast) then use.

They have been patched in the past but whoever did them seems to have done it properly.

Had myself a little road trip today 350ml round trip to pick my front valence up from Ron Fenton, nice fella.

15 years ago you could only have dreamed about getting new components like that!

Spent the evenings this week in the mancave tarting up the instrument bezel

Nice work. How's the body work coming on?

ScottyDave · Post by **ScottyDave** » Fri May 27, 16 11:49 pm

Unfortunately Miles it hasn't, fenders have be derusted, primed and the doors stripped down.
Taking a trip up north Aug/Sept just by myself to have a good week working on it without any family distractions hopefully then we can get some good progress.

Good luck with it Dave, looks like you're investing in the car.
