Low Horatio gearbox Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 On the spares car front be sure to check the vin code the Galaxie shared the body of the " Custom" and tho they look like the same cars spec, options and such very massively. I nearly pulled the trigger on a very similar to yours "Galaxy 500" as it was listed it checking thr vin revealed it to be a base /fleet spec Custom Small beans maybe but a bit naughty from a dealer and importer, especially when the luxuries were -2 speed wipers and an interior light. sdkrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Keep meaning to tune into this thread. Cracking work. I wish I had a tame @GingerNuttz locally. My Dolomite would have been done in a couple of weekends! (And to a much better standard) It's also impressive to see how someone can enjoy working on body and metalwork so much. I personally (now) hate it as messy, noisy, dangerous and makes your snot go the same colour as a day in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerNuttz Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Front end complete Passenger side chrome all on too Forgot I cut some bumper bolts off so ordered new ones. I'm dying with the flu so slow progress this week, while drilling the last hole for the arch trim the drill bit snapped and what was left in the drill went through my hand 😂 Fired some superglue in it so should be good to go tomorrow. Inner arch also painted ready for underseal. vulgalour, Ian_Fearn, Asimo and 17 others 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
