'79 308 restoration

Im sure it will be a 10 point car when your done Paul. Take your time, you cant rush PERFECTION !

Cant wait to see it like everyone else around here. Im sure it will be the cats arse of 308s once its done.

 

Can you find original black anodized roof rails, windshield trim, etc. or will you respray a paint coating onto them?

I have seen both or combination thereof, done.....

 

Man, I saw a like new North American grill for $65 but was too slow on it.......I'm sure they are pricey as well.

Going back North American or Euro on that?

 

Paul great work again.






BTW How much are you curling?? And are you doing behind the head curls too.?

Try re-originals for your carpet. Matt has some nice stuff there and the carpet is a good price.

 

Paul where did you get the authentic 16" wheels?

 

Amazing job, I hope you get her complete before and out for a spin before the weather changes.

If you need some Wilton Wool Carpets, let me know I will get you a great price.

 

Keep up the good work Paul!!

 

Amazing.
Keep updating.

 

Hi Paul

PM me with the color requirement.

Hope this helps

P.S. I grew up in Mississauga in the Dundas/427 Area.

 

I am more amazed every time you post new pics!!

 

Nice work as always! I put my front right suspension on this weekend and was going to post a couple of pics, but glad I didn't....yours is prettier!!! I think I am running a fairly close second but I didn't sandblast my rotors, so the only part that is shiny is where I had them turned. Though my new QA1's and Verell's bushing and paper weight looks pretty nice (by the way the fitting of Verell's stuff is spot on!).

Not to nit pick, but I noticed your front sway bar isn't in yet...doesn't the end link for it share the same bolt as the bottom shock mount? Maybe I put mine in wrong????

 

Nice!!

Wanna sell your old lights?

Make sure to order the rear carpet panel too, not sure how Gahh packages the rugs......

 

I'll take 'em and the old badges too.......

You are welcome I had just recalled someone having trouble with the rear panel not included. Don't recall which vendor.
It's He11 to get old!!

 

Are you going to mess with the camber shims now? With new hardware, bushings, etc..it seems like you almost have to bolt everything down and run around the block a couple times to let everything "set" before you would get an accurate assessment. What do you think?
