Default Getting some good work done on the '75! (PICS)

Well, just a little update for you guys! After not being able to work on the green beast for a long long time, I finally was able to preform a few small things like one, fixing my leaky master cylinder! I was able to paint it before hand. Yes I know that they are supposed to be grey, but black was the only thing that I had on me for the moment. Mike (Tracdogg) was able to come over and show me how to bleed it.
Here are some pics! (sorry some are from my cell)





Also, seeing the the weather here has just been PREFECT the last few nights, I decided that it was a good idea to take the tops off and go for a ride. Here is a vid.





Then afterwards getting that out of my system, I made a little progress fitting my front bumper cover on my car.




My dad and I took turns grinding down the reinforcments so that the cover will fit. We made significant progress tonight, but still lack a little to have a good fit.

BUT

The best part of the day was finding a C3 here close to me in town! Just sitting in the guys yard!

It is a nice choice, but sadly I cant say that I chose it. you would have to give the credit to the original owner who bought it new...

I saw a new Camaro pretty close to that color and loved it.

A little update for you guys. I actually left a note on his door, not asking to buy his car, but just inviting him to a car show we were having the next day. The wierdest thing is that I think that the person who owns the car is a girl... wieeerd

Nice work, and that green really pop in the sun.

Perfect weather to have the top off in North Dallas.
