I allways wanted to restore a SS so I bought this last year as a wreck & slowly hunted down the parts to bring it to it former glory. Apart from the front bumper & wheel covers all the chassis parts are originals including several new parts & new msc which I kept nip in the tub. I sprayed the original rear cage & exaust chrome silver to match the front, though I am missing one exaust clamp. The body is an original & is another restoration story all together, it has repro mirrors & rego plates, re-re windows & light lenses, the only repro decals used were the 506 ones one the doors the rest are original.

Thanks matman, your right about not many in WA nearly all parts on were from overseas lots of different countries to this is one well travelled bug. I have run it once with an esc & before I added new parts to it. Havn't run it since I finished it though.

Nice resto. Well done on sourcing all the original parts, they can be difficult to find nowadays.
