Got a great deal on this one and with some work I think she's gonna turn out gorgeous :drool: AM/FM was working excellent but tape deck was messed up. Someone through a rubber band on it hoping to get it working :thumbsdown: Well it's fully cleaned up and I replaced rubber band with FBM 10.2 new belt, I also replaced the dried out pinch roller, cleaned up deck fully and demagnetized and it sounds awesome!!!

As you can see from pics the front face was pretty rough. I stripped it and wet sanded the paint. Couple coats each of primer, paint and flat clear and it's looking much better. I also buffed the tuner, deck door and meter glass. Scratches were a bit deep but they lightened up alot. Deck door window was messed up because previous owner tried doing a glue job and got it everywhere. All in all I think it's coming out pretty nice and I will post more pics of the finished product later tomorrow. Here are some before and now pics to enjoy :-)

Sweet color. :drool:
It looked very "silver" in the first pic. Gotta love a good old fashioned Resto Thread!
Now we wait...

Top work Bill!
Those Crown's are a really ugly colour, stock, I reckon.
It's a goldy/browny/greeny bleech.

This new colour you've done improves it ten fold.

Well done!



Rock On.

Thanks guys. Today I decided to repair the deck door glass. Originally two top tabs that hold it on we're broken. So I used paper clips and JB weld. I cut and shaped the paper clips to make tabs then used JB weld to hold strong on glass. Works beautiful :-)
