1971 Valiant VG Coupe build

After much persisting,I bought this 1971 VG Coupe of a friend who owned it for about 7 years. The car was off the road for 2 years. The engine consists of a 265 engine with Holley and extractors. The car is undergoing full a restoration, with a bare metal respray in Hemi Orange.

Also there's me standing next to my Dad's E38 which he owned for 15 years and sold it in 1987 to Russell McLean, who then sold it on 1991 on the Central Coast. I wish he never sold it!!! If anyone knows the whereabouts of this car please let me know.

With help from the RTA I located our old Charger! The current owner bought it in 1991 and took 10 years to restore it to show standard. I was lucky enough to even take it for a spin.

Build up progress

22/04/03: Purchased vehicle.

26/04/03: Began stripping the car. Removed the interior, windows.

01/05/2003: Bought 12 litres of paint stripper and began the filthy job of paint stripping the whole car! What a job!

June 2003: After the paint was removed I lightly coated the car in pressure pack primer to stop it surface rusting. I then took of the doors and front RHS guard and began bodywork. I got hold of a old door and used it to make plate sections to repair the rust on the bottom of the guards and mig welded them in place.

August 2003: Car towed to panel beaters where 4 litres of 2 pack Hemi Orange was layed on the body and looks fantastic.
