Back on the road

Post by Gillygoo »

After 8 years of sitting In a friends garage, she eventually sold it to me in October (was her dads for 15 years).
Many new parts, full engine rebuild, coilovers and tyres, my 1982 GL Auto is ready to go on the road this week when tax is sorted.
Can’t wait.

No pics due to files to large :?
