My new Project A 340 GL BLUELINE!!!

Post by 340GLT »

Hi guys just thought i would tell you about my new toy!! :lol: A Blueline!! It needs a fair bit of work but it can all be done economically!! For a start the engine needs to be put back in properly!! And a good clean would do it a world of good!! One of the alloys was totally destroyed, but it just so happens i found one at my grandads garage!! God i love that place.
Any ways here are the piccies!!! :lol:

Has it got the gauges mate?? Looks a bit of work, but good luck with it! First Blueline on the forum. What other goodies does it have? The seats do look sweet

I think its a bit like the redline , surprisingly basic , no extra gauges , manual windows and mirrors etc , just nice stripes and seats LOL
