Well I have not spent as much time as I have wanted to this summer. It is pretty hot out to be working on a car outside.
I do plan on getting allot done when I move it into the garage for the Winter as I do have heat in there and more time.
It took 3 months to get the clear title from Georgia.
Once I received the car after having it shipped from Georgia, I was able to register it with the state & get tags for it.
This way I can at least move it around "legally" while I work on it,
not too mention going to the store to get milk!
Since I got it home, I have rebuilt the front end of the car, did some rearend work and a little engine tune up.
FRONT
Replaced front windshield that was cracked.
Replaced all trim around windshield.
Replaced wiper motor & wiper assembly.
Replaced Hood with a 3" steel cowl induction hood.
Replaced front SS Grill. (Old grill in these pics. New one looks great!)
Replaced Headlight bezels.
Replaced "eyebrow" trim around headlight bezels.
Replaced orange parking light lenses with the clear lenses.
Replaced headlights & parking lights.
Had to rewire & replace all front lighting wiring and lighting sockets.
Replaced front bumper.
Replaced all rubber grommets, bushings, weather-stripping for hood, cowl, etc..
REAR
Replaced shocks & shock towers with Gabriel hijacker air shocks.
Cleaned entire underneath and repainted all.
Removed old differential cover & replaced fluid along with a new chrome differential cover.
I will be replacing the trunk lid, rear tail light valence & tail light assemblies this winter.
ENGINE
Not much, just some little things.
Replaced wires, plugs & HEI Ignition.
Re[placed water pump.
Replaced alternator.
Added a few chrome thingies like air filter, alternator brackets, etc...
I have taken it to work a few times and it brings back some memories from my youth!
Nothing like a small block Chevy rumbling down the road.
Still have lots to do and like I said, will get allot done this winter.
I already purchased every single new part for the interior from dashboard light bulbs, to new bucket seats, to new rug to new headliner!
Thanks for looking!!
Dave

...and there I was expecting a Vauxhall Nova*...
Looks very nice other than the bits of the rear end you've said you haven't done yet.

Methinks the SS badge is one of Björns practical jokes

Speaking of Novas, just saw the most be-a-u-tiful orange Nova SS at the local automobile shop. Complete with factory steel rims (orange, of course) and chromed baby moon caps.
