Hi, just recently joined the site and haven't posted anything till now but have been reading a lot of posts and there's great info in there.
I imported my 69 Roadrunner post car from LA in the early 80's along with a few other cars. Things changed and the car has been sitting in a shed on a farm for about 10years and then I brought it home about 10years ago and it's been taking up room in my garage since. A slow mover, not really, I've been mucking around with my Shelby Cobra replica so can't do everything but now is the time.
The car is pretty straight, just a few minor dings. Very little rust, minor rust in bottom of doors, a little in the drivers sill panel and the boot floor is the worst but still not too bad.
It's not a numbers matching car. Obviously the hoon that had it in the states was a bit of a ratbag, probably like me when I was that age (I can still just remember) so the engine was changed and the 4 speed is now a reprogrammed auto. The engine is a 383 from the same vintage as the car.
Vin is RM21 H9E XXXXXX
Car is R4 - I think it's Barracuda Orange
So it's nearly all apart now and I'm just looking to see what sheet metal I need to get from your neck of the woods and then we'll start on the body repairs. The parts don't seem too badly priced but the shipping to Australia is bloody expensive so have to be careful how I order bits.
Anyway, looking forward to getting some great information from you fellas and maybe passing on some as well.
