Few weeks and she is ready. So it took six years to restore her, it was 06152000 when we bought the car.

Hey, nothin wrong with a little snow...these babies wer meant to be driven. I used mine as a daily driver, even in the Iowa Blizzards-best car I ever drove in the winter time through the snow-put a blade ont eh front like in Out Cold.
Heak yeah, the paint wouldn't be first on a lot of peoples' lists, but it looks great!

Hey just viewed those larger. Is that a rubber strip on the back bumper? Not a bad idea. Did you have to search for the taillight bezels, or just had them? I think the one I have is for the right side, but don't have tho other one.

The rubber strip on the back bumper was a factory option, somewhat rare.

Great looking GTX!!!

I just noticed that to,its a rubber strip going across the rear bumper, I love the vinyl top.beautiful job.Who is the guy installing it?

that rubber is a really good idea, especially when loading stuff in the trunk like I do pretty frequently, to save the paint. Teh rubber one on the front for elastomerics would be good on all cars for workin under the hood, too. Way pricey, though

Hi, the guy who installed that vinyl top is a professonal, he does interior jobs too etc.
Rear bumper is from our former Satellite Sebring. It was better core to rechrome (straight), but of course I had to put that rubber back, there is somewhat 8 or 10 holes to install it.
Taillight bezels came with the car, I think those are standard on GTX?
I think we are able to start the car on this weekend

Just passed inspection, first time at home! Little dirty,eh, but happy.

Do not look at wheels, 15x7 Rallyes are on their way (somewhere on the Atlantic).
