Bought this in july last year, was a little rusty here and there but set to with the grinder and welder and now it has less rust.The pics dont show how much rot i found but i guess some of you have been in that movie, a little turns into alot.The plan is not to restore it, just to get it through its mot and have some fun in it. Nearly there now, just stuck for a wiper motor and some wheel studs.......... ho yea would love to change the wheels for some bigger ones.. wider ones
, anybody got any for sale.......
Think i might call it cheap and cheerfull coz it aint a real charger and i reckon i will have less than £3000 in it by the time im done and that includes buying it.... makes me smile

Looking great, glad a bit of effort was put in rather than it get bangered or scrapped for the engine. Is this the one that was on e-bay, a VJ?
Who can complain at getting a Mopar on the road for £3,000. Enjoy it, I know I have great fun with mine, and that is cheap fun and Ok from 10 feet away!

good bit of fabrication stuff going on there mate
not seen many Ozzy chargers up close & not knowing much about them.. , but looking at your pictures i can see a few parts that are the same on US built ones . are you going to re paint it , or just do the welding for now .

Was this the gold VH that cycled ebay a couple of times? We all looked at it but i think the general concensus was that it was too much money. Having seen others since I am starting to think it was actually quite a bargain!

Not sure, James. A guy in AMC was talking about it, stunned at the its condition and low mileage.
Not sure of the lead time on the magazine, but his letter said it was on the boat.
Sorry to hear that the Charger is going
It looks like Nic Correa is setting up a shipping thing (according to MattH) to the UK.
Do you still need the hardtop slatback ?
All the best

Yes I still want that. Is it here yet?
It doesn't look like I'll be selling the Charger just yet, not had the right offer. And I may have solved the money issues another way for the medium term.
