This should be a good one to watch, oe spec?  ;)

will try and keep it to original spec as possible mate but the chrome on the rims are shot they are peeling of the rust under neath

would it be wrong to put 7x rims on ?

As I said in my PM reply Mark a survivor build could look cool but if you want it looking mint it does look a prime candidate for a resto as there's a lot of rust coming through the paint and paint missing etc.

Like i said in the PM though mate, just be careful restoring the ashtabula components as they were never a painted finish - more of a rough, metal hardening chemical treatment finish - I'd just try a light de-rust and clean on the ashtabula bits at first - see how they turn out  ;)

Look forward to seeing it finished  :daumenhoch:

Lovely this Mark  :daumenhoch:

If you get shot of the wheels, could I have first refusal? They'll be ideal for my '81. I have a set of NOS knobbys that'll suit it better than comp III's if you fancy a part chop?

Now thats a nice find  :daumenhoch:
  You cant beat a complete early goose  :smitten:
