As promised a couple months ago in my introduction thread, here is the beginning of the build thread for my 64 Hardtop.
Refer intro here:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=17810
So the car arrived at my house in Australia in June this year, after buying from Bakersfield Cali in March.
No real dramas with the importation, other than just the process playing out with inspections, shipping, more inspections etc.
As mentioned in the intro thread, the car is shabby but in great shape....
Caliente Hardtop
260 / 3sp manual column - original driveline
Bench seat with cloth trim
No PS or AC, original radio and remote mirror seem to be the only options.
Original paint (burgundy
The plan:
Cy-Clone (as close as I can make it)
Bucket seats
5-speed floor shift manual (T5)
Keep the 260
Dual exhaust
Dual circuit drum brakes
Still haven't settle on the final color combo yet..... Tossing up Peacock/White-Black, White/Black. Really like Black/Red also, but have that combo on my Falcon coupe so unlikely.
Would love some feedback on the colors....
Here's some pics of the car as recieved. Arrival day
