Year and Trim: 1965 Bonneville Convertible.
I am dedicating this page to progress photo's of my restoration for those of you who are interested.
You may well understand the challenge I have set myself, since I reside down in New Zealand and all parts have to be imported.

Please do not comment here, if you feel the need to, you are welcome to send me a private message.

Thanks for understanding.
======================================================

This is the condition it was in when I brought it.
You wouldn't think there was any rust in it at all, but the Frame was full of it.

Image

This (new) frame replaced the old one which was badly rusted out.

Image

Same frame - arriving back from the Sand Blasters
(Spot the 1932 Chev in the back ground.)

Image

Back suspension is all in and showing off the front brake drums.

Image

Rear brake set up, for those of you who can't remember what drum brakes looked like.

Image

This photo and the next two are the completion of Stage 1 of the project.

Image

Image

Image

This is the 389 after sandblasting.

Image

And this is the same, after a coat of paint had been added.

Image

Gutted and ready for the big over haul.

Image

Image

This is using the soda blasting method to take the paint off.

Image

Image

Work in progress.

=========================================================

To be continued...

This will be fun to watch. I owned two '65s back in the day - a dark blue convertible, and a black coupe.
