Re: Another new project......
loving the dash finish buddy! glad to see such a high standard being set!!!
Re: Another new project......
looks great mate! gonna love watching the build. ben wanted ga lights and grille. do you need those or did it come with the twins? i can't remember. cheers
N/A ALL THE WAY
Re: Another new project......
Came with both
I am not a fan of the GA front but as part of the deal with Ben I sold all the unwanted spares to GB_BB4C so he has a truck load now to get his second A53H on the road

Re: Another new project......
The twin headlight setup is period-correct for a 16L (A53). Jason's car just needs the correct 16L grille (rather than the GB one which has been put into it at some stage)
Even the AII (A52) Galants had a "facelift" to twin headlights from around August 1971 in Japan ... only the early AI/AII cars had the single square headlights.

I have the correct 1972 GS grill on the way Dave, very excited
Also have a pair of NOS correct GS guard indicators on the way too.

Trial patch of paint tonight, just because I was bored really, and I fitted the 14's I scored today.
Pretty sure this will be the final colour or dam close anyway, this is the desired end goal.
Shitty pic but the only one I could find in the right colour

Re: Another new project......
I really like that GS interior..
'82 GJ GSR Silver (family heirloom):)
Re: Another new project......
Me two, but it is for a GA style. Mine has the same cloth interior as A53C GTO, vinyl bolsters with cloth inserts. Can't find a pic now and gotta jet
Re: Another new project......
I love it when a plans starts to come together
Just trial fitting for now but the colour is spot on match to the front valance which is factory orange
Mirrors donated by the A112H and NOS indicators from Sharm, thanks mate
Got some more badges from Affa, thanks again mate.
The Galant is for the boot lid and a new grill centre emblem. The 5 speed badge is for the A112H, it is from a GTO.

Re: Another new project......
Yeah, I think I will be painting this one. This will be bare metal full stripped job so not sure if I am up to that or not yet.

Re: Another new project......
Well, sadly, with the purchase of the GTO funds are pretty tight at the moment and I have really had to face up to the fact that I will never get through all these projects.
Even if I do, the insurance and registration costs of 7 cars would be too much to keep up.
So, this car has been sold, pending payment, to someone who is very passionate about these cars and I am sure will restore it to it's original glory.
I know he will let you know when he has possession and his plans organised.

Re: Another new project......
Nah, it is a shame but the GTO is what I have always wanted so I guess I will be cool with it.
Sad but maybe for the greater good

Re: Another new project......
Sweet GA seats front and rear but sadly the buckets don't flip forward so the hunt begins for genuine A53H GS seats. I have the factory rear (need re upholstering badly) but need the buckets.

Hey mate sorry to here about the loss but did those seats happen come out of a white GA? Just interested because that interior looks a lot like one i owened a few years back.
Im also located in adelaide, cheers

Re: Another new project......
Cheers 71GA, no idea about the seats mate, they were in it when I got it. The buckets can be made to flip pretty easily but I had planned on fitting stock seats anyway. I am pretty sure the new owner is going 100%-ish factory spec with it, so he will be on the look out soon I am sure.
