I'm hoping to have some worthwhile pics next week.

Yes...Got the GTO as well.... But been off the road since 79...
It's in the process of making a return. I'm a 78 model myself.

It's on CF.org at moment.

As soon as the 57 is done...the GTO will be on full time.

Took the rear bumper down today to get rechromed.
It's a 3 piece bumper...and this was the best of the bits I had.
57 Ponti bits are getting hard to get.

They reckon about 2-3 weeks for the bumper.
One of the cap things will need some repair work where it has rusted through. I can't find new ones anywhere.
So hopefully they will be able to repair it. Although he reckons it will be costly. But it seems that I don't have a choice.

Still have the front bar to do when I get it back after getting new brackets made up for it.
And a few other bits and pieces.

Hey Gas. Can't source one overseas?. There are a few Pontiac Forums in the States. You might find one there and maybe Mick and Yvette from U.S Muscle Cars could bring it in for you in one of their containers. I'm sure it would be cheaper than a courier.

Just a thought.

I've tried OS aswell.
Nothing that I can find.

One was in alright nick....the other will need repairs. But when you are into old odd ball cars...you get used to making do with what you got...and getting those bits fixed up.

But I love having something a little bit odd ball.
Wouldn't change it.

At least I know that the GTO will be an easier road to travel.

Mick and Yvette have delivered some pressies from the states already from me...and more in the future.

While the Dollar is good...just ordered some 3.42 diff gears and a rebuild kit for the diff.

And some lenses for the rear end...back up lights, number plate etc... as well as some front guard ornaments...

Dropped of A/C condensor to get brackets made up for fitment.

Slowly but surely getting there.
