Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I purchased my 77 in the early eighties it had been thoroughly abused. I then parked it for a long while through the nineties and into 2000 until it got stolen and returned 28 days later. I then decided to replace a rusty frame and birdcage which has turned into a lengthy convertible conversion and complete restoration/mod. Nothing on this car has been farmed out and all work to date has been done by myself and I.
