So, what should I do with this.

So.....It's nick named 'plant pot' due to being outside most of the time undercover, under a lean to. And its brown, like a pot...
I bought it about 6 months back, sort of tried to sell it but kind of don't want to at the same time
Undecided what to do with this, to drag it in to the new garage and make a start, or not. That is the question. And if so - how should it shape?
Restoration to factory is out of the question from my point of view. Probably bucket seats, a V8 and away we go (after sorting out the roof and other little bits).
Anyway, here are some nice photos of 'plant pot'.
And you can post your comments about what to do with this thing

Drag it into the vast hanger you’ve built for a start... then watch Roadkill for inspiration then build what you can out of what’s available for a good price. Seem to remember you bought that because it was reasonably priced? So take the same stance on parts, may take a bit of time but you could end up with a nice ratty muscle car....

Hey,
Thanks. Yes it was quite well priced, needs a new roof though so the black top is holding it all together lol.
I'll drag it inside - take photos when its there, then that will be 50% of the battle :d

1970 Satellite/RR is the best looking (IMO) and I would love to have one, but it is too long for my garage
body looks good in the photos so why the roof is so bad, and the rest of the body looks okay.
it will be a shame not to turn it into a runner.

Beat-up ex-racer style I reckon would suit both car and budget.
Is it a guy named Chang who has the Charger done to look like an ex-Nascar? Very cool

I love this car - the blue patina type one with white/black steelies. Looks hard as nails.
Thanks for the comments the rest of you guys.
I'll drag it inside and try to make a start on it over Christmas perhaps. I love taking bits off cars, putting them back is another thing lol. Don sold me the car and its really good - nice honest guy.

Its "Cheng" and it is a '70 Satellite (same as Uk's body style) done as an old Nascar style with Huuuuge tyres, and drop spindles.
Check out the "Thunder Road Cars" pages on the web and Facebook for more ideas.

You were in the ballpark....
I know the car - in fact it is sitting in my garage at the moment....
