Not many 13 year olds buy a car, yet alone a splitty. Very wise investment

Haha yea it does I saw that the other week! Hopefully won't sell it for a while to come!
Yea all rust has been repaired, drivers side panel outer sill is new plus all the normal rust areas!
Onto the engine when it goes to the paint shop,
I've got a 1600 out of a 68 bay that I've gotta rebuild

Getting very close!
Getting married in February so gotta have it done!
Interior is nearly finished, just waiting on a few seats and have to finish the binding on the Carpet. Cam lifters cam today so hopefully have a good
chunk of the engine built tomorrow.
Then just a few things like wipers etc
The emblem is the last thing to go on!

who said buying a house when young is a good investment.
Congrats Sir on a really nice job, something I bet all your mates wished they bought instead of a Vt commodore.
C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
