After about a 1 1/2 of having my 1966 Pigalle Square back I got her running and driving,It has been a long process. The car was bought here on the forms
from Jim up north (thanks Jim) I saw the car for a few months and when i saved enough money i got The car had been sitting sense 1984 so i know i would have my work cut out for me. The floors need work the windows were both left open letting water in. So I started with the build. engine first pulled the engine out had it rebuilt,Next all new brakes hard fixed pans lines,soft,calipers,master and so on, as for the body the car is in great shape all og panels to the car og keys and locks matching numbers pan and body,stocked.
I do have the matching z arm rest but one is broken also looking for some red carpet to match.
I lowered the car and put on some og sprint stars
Hope you enjoy the picks
Thanks laszlo |

when i peeled the leather that the PO glued over the dashboard cover of my fastback, i discovered a brown color and my heart squeezed a little
not for long, because then i looked closer to discover that it was only paint over the black |

I have 1500.00 0n it! Really is a bummer that we cant restore these type 3s with the same quality parts we use on our buses. And to not be able to get a dash is a joke......... _________________ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smittys-Auto-Body-Collision-Repair-Restoration/394733633959825

i made a fiberglass LHD for my 65 FB. it is not 100% copy but it is very close
it is not quite finished since i didn't do the trim holes yet and there are some little imperfections to be sanded, but wen i installed it i loved it so much that i've being postponing the finishing since
the most visible differences are the absence of the speaker grill and that it is smooth, it doesn't have the leather texture
also i made the instruments hole a little wider so i can mount the dash over them, without disassmble them
i painted it in matt black |

Nice project car but that seems like way too much money to me.
Anyone else agree/disagree?
The sunroof cover bugs me - it looks WAY worse than the rest of the roof and car.
If not for the nice floorpans, I would think it was off and sitting on the ground or something.
Did they paint those separate or something and have poor quality control? _________________ How to Post Photos

Looking at that car again I agree with Everett that sunroof looks way more rusty. Maybe a previous owner had it covered with something metal or plastic. This would trap the moisture against the sunroof cover, but keep it from leaking & rusting the pan out. |
