I grew up in a wagon, so no package tray naps for me, plenty of other places to curl up though. I used to love sleeping in the cot "upstairs" in our '69 Westfalia, not while driving though. I can't remember the reason, something about safety or something. I think that was just an excuse though...
Hey Snotty, I know your car was a 383-4 originally, was it silver too? And by the looks of it, you opted to not install the buttons on the seats? Looking great so far, I can't wait to see the outcome!
I agree, the louvers look out of place, a little too mad maxish even if they're painted pastel turquoise! Odd that he chose to point the dual antennas straight up, however this is the definition of a "custom." The amount of modifications to the rear end and bumper is a feast for the eyes! I...
Pointy, solid counter punch, tapping to turn loose. Move up to a small sharp chisel if no success. Both of these ideas have the potential to break away more of the plug.
You could also try epoxying a square drive in there, let it cure and cross your fingers.
Once you've manually retracted the piston, how much space do you have between the rotor and the pads? Smaller cars have similar calipers but are not as wide. With older rotors and pads, I would think you could get them on, but this might happen. If you have the old caliper around you can compare.
I don't know, that looks like a brand spanking' new interior to me. Body is amazing! Paint is great, the bumper to hood rubber looks like new. I believe this could be a true survivor, minus the wheels and tires. Engine must have been stuck after sitting so long that it required a rebuild? I'm...
That has to be the most confused car I've ever seen. They really should've chosen some more appropriate side mirrors.
In my imagination - Ok sir your car is almost ready. We've modified everything except for the trunk, that still works as intended.
Customer - can you make it open backwards?
That price does seem a little too fair. Tread carefully (pun intended.) They probably should've cropped that one pic. Possibly "patches" are the new "hose?"
That's not gonna last long. I'm really curious as to what the other car he bought with this one was, given that this is the one he chose not to keep, the other one must be even more desirable.
Does anyone know if these cars came from the factory with the plastic splash guard behind the valance...
