mark"s satellite
69 satellite bought on lovely e.bay for ?1800, 1800 months swearing and a a lot of help from gary [have you emigrated yet?] and here she is.
looked something like this[last pic though clivey!] when it finally arrived bought in new york state so no-one bid assuming it would be a pear.luckely it had no rust at all.rattle can blue,velvet interior,ran though.
had a rebuilt 318, manual clutch pedal sitting ontop the old auto,so guessed that was shot[plus the huge puddle under it being the other clue].
e body seats where swapped with dunc for a bench,while he did the box [still not leaking dunc...nice].
the interior was blue and horrible, so re-sprayed it all myself,bench and rears were done locally.
the colour was going to be plumb crazy, but this turned up by mistake,the paint shop turned their nose up at it, refusing to spray it..quote.."looks like a girls colour" ..never one to be refused i got moody and and they got it done.
looks incredible at night, and has a real variable shade in the day,coded lc-7, guess it isnt but i love it.
never registered it wobbled round the corner to sunny sunday for the day, and thats been it.
will get it registered etc and actually get round to meeting some of you guys this year,many off whom have been a huge help and inspiration.
next will be a blower or turbo...all show though...never to go!
