carter Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 this is my exclusive that ive had for 10 years, bought as a restoration for £100 and having only had two owners is in original condition even down to the stereo, the time has now come to restore this car back to its former glory and save it from the crusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Smashing looking car mate, Is that how it is now? Is it going to be a complete rebuild or touch up. Another Monaco Blue Exclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 cheers mate, yes thats how it is now, i took those outdoor photos today and took advantage of the last of the sunshine, the photos make it look better than is, the usual areas are shot at, nose cone above headlights, peppering to roof and rough around rear arches but at least front chassis legs are surprisingly rot free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after seeing it in the flesh, I bought it with my heart not my head same as mine in repairs, but my chassis rails were gone at the swan necks But at least it will be on the road one day I am so glad I kept in blue as I was going to have it sprayed in Astro Silver with the Opel "V" graphics on the bonnet. Good luck with the project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
