How does she look in the flesh ?
Looks good in pics.
Glad all went well for you

Cheers Gary!!

The seller was pretty honest and the Fury is just as he told me and how i expected. The only thing he never mentioned was there was no trunk lock,so had to use a flat screwdriver to open it.

The Fury is being stored at my good buddy Steve Cooper's garage in Mildenhall,Suffolk and this is where it will stay and all the work will be carried out over time. I'm hoping to get up there as often as i can!!
Here are a few pics that he sent over to me today...

Are those headlights going to be easy to find in UK spec?

Ah maybe I assume the bigger lower lights would be the same as a Cherokee and are they the dip beam and the main beam being the top lamps?

When I had a Trans Am I found that Audi coupe Gt headlights fitted perfectly.Might be an option.

Not posted any progress for a while as had a couple of busy few months with work and a few debts i had to pay off but finally got to spend the afternoon assessing every part of the car and sorting out in which order and what to tackle first in the restoration project.

Lots of pics from today...pretty much from every angle.

And finally one of my mate Steve's 'General'

Thanks Steve...all i do is just copy & paste the link from my Photobucket account and it seems to let me add as many as i like.

The list is looking long...but just going to take my time and enjoy the build and not rush anything. First job will be next week clearing all the mess out of the car and trunk and then remove all the seats and rip up the carpet and hopefully not find any nasty surprises underneath.

Ah,..photobucket rears its head again....I must get with the program

thats a good idea Danny, you will really get to know her by having a good tidy up and see whats what. I wrote stuff down as I went along that needed to be done....then prioritised stuff into big/ small jobs and things that can be done off the car in the garage when its tipping down outside.

Get stuck in and enjoy Danny and keep it coming matey...great thread on an unusual car
