Total Restoration Project. 71

[Diseazd]

The 71 Safari Gold is progressing very nicely. The rear quarter is being cut out as well as the front passenger side frame rail and front clip. Those areas are being replaced with perfect rust free components that we found after several months of searching. Here is a link to the resto gallery
