Post by ScottyDave »

Just thought I'd introduce myself my names Dave, I originally hail from the Outer Hebrides and moved to Worcestershire some 14yrs ago.
I have owned what is now a sorry looking 73 Charger for 15yrs which due to a 600 mile relocation for work a young family and limited funds had to be left behind garaged at my folks :cry:
It still runs and Aug 2013 saw it outside for the first time in 9yrs

Yes the plan is to restore her, I'm quite happy working on cars although not so keen on the modern stuff (to many wires and silly boxs) weldings no problem I'm a fitter/welder by day and have just done the welding on a mates VW T2 on & off over 3yrs
The biggest drawback is the cars location, its still in the Outer Hebrides so I've first got to get her home somehow... after that it'll be easier ;)
