My SVX is on the road - photos to prove it!

After what seems like decades, and many false starts, my SVX is finally on the road.

For its 20th birthday I promised it would get back on the road in 2012... I made it with 20 days to spare.

Still lots to do though. But isn't there always? Especially need the air-con done. I got back after this drive and it was over 30 degrees (approx 90F)... I melted.

But if it remains mechanically solid, maybe I can start toying with the idea of a complete respray in the new year, or maybe do upholstery.

Either way its ready to socialise with other SVXs when you're all ready.

Re: My SVX is on the road - photos to prove it!

Looking good!

Mine is OFF the road for Christmas. Major diff and gearbox issues.

Hope to have it fixed early January.

Still hope for a cruise with everyone soon.

Your car looks like that and you think it needs a respray?

*looks at my car's rusty quarter panels in shame*

I kid. Car looks great, congrats getting her driving again!

I might be a bit late to the party. 2014 perhaps?

I know I know... it sounds like overkill given the photos... but keep in mind you're looking at photos taken by a photographer of his own car... I was never going to take shots that emphasise rust or dents, was I?
