Good things come to those who wait. Took me roughly the same time to make a real move on my Torry after years of 'tinkering'. Look forward to seeing yours return to its former glory!

my Son decided that it would never get done by him, even though he doing the trade and is year 3. Got some inheritance money and sent it off. 

 

 

he actually nearly cried at the age of 21 to see it leaving the yard since he has owned. but he is walking around with a large smile now, knowing that is finally going to happen.

Bodgey bugger that Graham bloke. Has too many SS hatches too.

[Potta]

Took a year and a half to blast?

 

At least you know it will be a thorough job 

 

Is that gold car it or another one?

[Redslur]

He bought the Gold one off me :-)

Looks amazing mate

Love the colour.

I had an Escort in 77 that was little lighter that your Torana.

I loved that car, the colour was fantastic.
