`69 Sport Satellite

Well, sorry for the delay guys. Finally I've got round to posting this up on the Car Show section.

Feast your eyes on this solid little treasure.

My`69 Sport Satellite. Not a RoadRunner I know, but my budget wouldn't allow me to spend all that extra money

.
(didn't really matter to me whether it was a belvedere or gtx, I just love the '69 shape )
Originally a 318 car, but now sits with a 383 nestled behind the grille, with a 727 on the column.

Still got the 2:73 rear end, so is great for the open road.

It arrived into Southampton mid November, and after towing it home (I was going to drive it home, but it has a "self setting alarm" on it, so it had a flat battery when it arrived.) I set about sorting out a few small things for the MoT. Lights etc.

I bought it from <A href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jbrimfield ... 20PDT).htm" target="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jbrimfield ... 20PDT).htm"> Here </A href></A>

I'm abit gutted, coz after doing the changes to the brake lights etc my MoT guy questioned me asking... "These have the red indicators don't they?" - All that work for nothing. Guess who's going to be changing them back

The only change I've done to it is that I've bought the Purple RoadRunner Hood that Niall had for sale here a few weeks ago. I'm not going to make it into a RR clone, I just prefer this hood as it looks better.

I've taken off the Dog Dish Caps for now as I've repainted the wheels. Looks like an old NASCAR clonker now

I've sprayed up the underside to protect it for the winter months, and I'm just enjoying smokin' around in it in this condition for now until I can set about it around February time to restore it.

All it needs exterior wise is new lower rear quarters ( surprise surprise ) which are already on order

Back window has already been done at some point (poorly, but keeps out the wet) and the trunk floor is good and solid.
I've got most of the trim with it too. Just missing the lower chrome panels below the doors. I might come across them 1 day, but not too worried for now. I shall be keeping this little baby, so I've got plenty of time

ROLL ON FEBRUARY !!!! $\:D/$

Well.... what d'ya think?

You can see alot more pics on my website.

Cheers mate.
I'll definitely be at wheels day at easter as it's only up the road from me.
Hopefully it'll be sprayed by then.
And I'll be making a point of visiting a few more shows this year, as I didn't get round to visiting many in '05.
Time being the main problem there, but more time now, so more shows this year

ill look out for you look out for the blue 75 dart sport running the six pot thatll be me prob have no carpet for first part of this year be sure to have a look at some of me pics on the secound page title "new digi cam" so have you got any plans or are you just gonna thrash her about this year? any racing plans???

Jules · Post by **Jules** » Mon Jan 09, 06 8:08 pm

I'm in the same boat.... no carpet at the mo.
I get most of my parts from Mopars By Crane in Florida. Carpet has been ordered and paid for. Just waiting for it to arrive.
There's a link on my website on the links section (obviously) to them. They're very reasonable with prices.
No plans to race. Not really a racer as such. Maybe an odd occassion or 2 away from the traffic lights to put a blinged up saxo or peugeot to shame ( don't you just love doing that LOL ) just for a laugh. No competition though. Plenty of them round here. They're all show but no go unfortunately. makes me chuckle my backside off though when they pull up next to you revving. They can dream

Not really into the 1/4 mile thing. Used to do abit of the oval racing before myself (thats more like me). Too much money nowadays.

Intial plan is for this colour......

i like i like specially with the chromies unfortunatly mate i dont try and show off to much as a 225 slant six isnt exactly going to light the tires lol still is much cooler than a nova so i dont care i will be racing for fun i hope at the nats you know me i will be doing a 20 secound quarter lol

Jules · Post by **Jules** » Mon Jan 09, 06 8:42 pm

I must admit, I wouldn't mind giving it a go down the 1/4 mile.
Probably make it in about 2 days, but worth a go LOL

Nice chrome wheels. Can't afford them (yet). maybe next week LOL!!

yeah why not would be intresting to see what time it could set just watch you dont get the bug and things start coming off

Jules · Post by **Jules** » Mon Jan 09, 06 8:51 pm

Nah, you're alright dude.
If things start coming off, then they need to be replaced

Usually with fibreglass and twice the expense
