Wollfen's 1971 Sport Fury GT !

[Wollfen]

Gary you are one fine DIY'er! She looks great! Now wasn't all that pain and suffering worth it?

Heh, I will finally have a smile once I'm on the highway cruising!

Roof just got painted and I pulled the paper and tape off. This is the result, no work done yet at all. Yes I know the car is dirty. I think the rake of the car may be a bit too much. I will raise the front a little. Not looking bad at all even if I do say so myself!

Nice work Gary!

 

[1978 NYB]

Very good work!

 

[commando1]

You work waaaay too fast for me. You ever stop for normal functions like eat, sleep, and going to the bathroom?

 

[Samplingman]

This is very cool. The way you have preserved it, I don't think I'd ever do a full-on resto. I might do this with my parts car.

When do you think she'll be on the road?

Lol, don't look too close at the white paint, I need to rub it back a little and polish it, It was very hot in the garage and was drying too fast as i was applying it. I'm not too bothered as I will be putting a vinyl top back on at a later date.

Lol, sometimes I'm not eating and working through, things have slowed down this past week as I have been sick, I hope it's not the car doing it to me!

Thanks mate, yeah I wasn't up for a full resto either even if it needed it. I have too many cars here as it is. I think this is a nice compromise. Also, glad to hear you may do the same to your black coupe, I have always liked that car.

 

[Wollfen]

When do you think she'll be on the road?

I'm hoping next week sometime, fingers crossed. I really wanted it on the road already to give me a month of testing before going to Carlisle with it. We shall see.

I can't wait to see it at Carlisle. I know what my NYB looked like with the top painted. Your car looks great with the 2 tone paint.

Keep at it.

 

[Wollfen]

Keep at it.

Going off to work on it right now!

Where do you find all of the time? Are you retired?

 

[tallhair]

Looks really sweet Gary

Not retired officially , I hurt my back in 2008 and took about 2.5yrs to get back on my feet. Its been a slow process and it will never be 100 percent again so I tinker now in the garage as much as I can.

The roof looks good, I really want to see it clean and polished.
