| My Grandfather bought this new in 1973 , but over the next 20 years it gradually deteriorated after having travelled less than 36000 miles and was headed for the rubbish tip , till I asked my Dad if I could have it to restore . | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| After a fair bit of mechanical work , it was time to get it resprayed , so it went from this .... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To this .... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I thought about restoring it to its' original state and joining the P76 Club . But as the Deluxe model , it was too much of a temptation to upgrade it to the Super model . Out went the front bench seat , ...in came the buckets , out went the column shift , ...in came the T-bar with centre console . Carpet on the floor instead of vinyl , a new stereo , mags from an XC Falcon , chrome door trims & away we go !!! |
