Hi Guys,
Thought I'd do a proper introduction. So, heres the deal. Middle aged (44), married with two daughters. Works a lot and dreams even more. I'm more of a chopper guy and I have built a couple of bikes throughout the years, Wanted to be able to bring the family along so I expanded the inventory a bit. I've always been in love with the F-body and I managed to stumble on a vert which was even better. Car runs and drives just fine but it needs some TLC in the rust departement. Plan is to keep it and slowly improve it. Hoping for tons of advise including views and opinions from you lot!
Cheers/ Jonas aka Speedy

When i saw he first Picture of your car, I thought to myself
- Hey, that picture could be taken at Lambohovs gård.
When I was a kid we lived just one kilometer from there, and a friend of mine lived at Lambohovs gård. Nowadays I Iive in Tallboda. I don't know how much experience I have to offer, but we could do a garage visit, as you suggest.
