Monza, part II

Part II in a series of "how to make a cheap old car look not so cheap".

One of the advantages of having a mobile wreck is that someone who doesn't know what they're doing can make it look better. Someone like me!

As you can see in the 'before' picture, the middle part looks really crummy, so how can I go wrong with a can of spray paint? Turned out decent enough.

Before:


Lights off, painting the panel:


After, paint dry, and with new tail lights:

I like those older camaro shapes for sure. 1973 Trans Am would be my fave of those shapes.

Look at that sweet baby! I never owned one but a friend of mine did. He let me drive it all of the time. I loved it. Is your stick or auto? Rear wheel drive too right? If I recall you had to push the stick down before you could put it in reverse. No really. STRAIGHT DOWN. Then you could push it up or down or sidways or whatever to get it into reverse. Am I recalling this right?

Is this your main ride or a project? Where is the bicycle?

Yes my poor little baby. I'm kind to her because one day she will fall apart. The frame is too rusty (and bent too I suspect) to restore this one. But it's still fun to fiddle, and I love driving her. It's an automatic, so I don't know the stick answer.

I have another car that is my main car, but it is a $500 dollar special too.
