Default A GTO is Reborn.
Finally she is almost complete, only the White Top is left to do and some small adjustments, she past the Inspection only with a minor fault on rear brakes. She is a real headturner.Last pictures will come when the top is mounted. Thanks for all tips and links from you all. SVANTE 400. http://www.pixbox.se/alb_show_id712267_page0.html. :

Thats also a way to say it, i seen your pics to, good job there, lots of work, but the reward is coming when its done. My resto expand for 3 years with a lot of orderings for parts new and old. Did make a lot of friends over there and payed a visit to some of them in Carlisle this spring, had a great time. I got to say you guys in the States realy made nice cars for us guys in Sweden couldnt live without them expecially THE GREAT GTO. Keep up the good work. Svante 400.

yeah you put alot of time and work into that and I give you major props, mine still has a way to go but at the moment its just about getting it back up and running for now and then maybe in the winter start breaking down a few other things


but hope you get your new top soon I couldnt imagine trying to wait for parts let alone the price you have to pay to get them shipped to you

Great job! I'm glad to see another one saved, but you've made me feel bad that MINE'S not done. LOL.

It's no wonder that's a head turner it's a beautiful car.
