1985 - Dark Sage - Hertz Rent-a-car - SVO


The following are some pictures (before, after, and in between) of the restoration of my 1985 SVO.

 

I'll start with a little background history on the car. I found it on the internet in the auction area of the www.Corral.net website. Is that an awesome website or what? The car was located just outside Atlanta, Ga. I drove down, looked at this sad heap, drove it up the block once, and drove it home (yes - drove - 225 miles) with a huge smile on my face. The car had been used for it's first 2 years as a Hertz Rent-a-car. Bought through Hertz-Used car sales by the second owner in Texas in Jan. 1987 and somehow - made to the guy who I bought it from. I drove the car around for 2 days before parking it in my shop and beginning the process of bringing it back to former glory that would take 15 months to complete.
The pics will show - before and after....click on the pic to see an enlargment.

 

 


Hoped you enjoyed seeing what 15 months, blood, sweat, every penny saved, and a few cuss words can produce if your set you mind to it.
