Should never have days off work. Here I am minding my own business and looking on the net. Next thing I note is that I bought a 1966 Pontiac GTO project. I cant even blame it on drinking lol. Lots and lots to do, but will be a cool car once finished.
Best thing is that my partner was happy about it lol. She is great.

It was that 66. I am getting pics emailed over tomorrow and will then post some.
It is going straight to the restorers for the works to commence. I am sure the garage must roll there eyes at me. They give one of my cars back to me and nearly finish another and they get another one in return lol.
I am debating about whether to put it back to original or to do a custom version.

Im lucky as my partner has wanted a muscle car.
The GTO has always been high on my list and it will certainly be a fun project.

I have a couple of pics now so will upload when on laptop. We will be restoring back to stock apart from a tuned engine and disc brake conversion. I will also start a resto thread. Not sure when work will actually be commencing but it is going straight to the restoration shop. First thing I will start sorting is an order from America for the body parts needed.
