Another new guy

[73Aussie Ford]

Hi all, new member and I am looking forward to learning as much as I can here. I own a 1,700 sqft home with a 3 car garage and I am hoping for ideas and advice.

I am in the process of pricing two 20' shipping containers to convert into a workshop/paint booth for my backyard, Im on a 1/4 of an acre and room shouldnt be a problem.

I'll be removing the center walls and welding them into one, creating a 20' x 16' shop. Windows, AC and power for a compressor and a welder.

Anyway, I'll be scrolling thru old posts about floor coating etc for the next few weeks, LOL. I am planning on coating my 3 car garage (bright white) and laying a vinyl graphic of a super Roo and a De Tomaso logo under clear.

Welcome, How did you come by the Aussie Coupe ?

I bought her about 5 years ago, my projects were put on hold until 3 weeks ago, I injured my back and was unable to work (3 years no paycheck).

I have a set of GT flutes and have the honeycomb on the beaver, I just picked up a pair of tuned, equal length Pacemakers too. Planning on electric cutouts, 2 1/2" true duals, cross over and exiting thru the GT tips I bought 5 years ago.

The boot is rotten, I was basically ripped off, the car was supposed to be rust free but the boot was covered in Black Jack, about an inch thick. I have NO idea how to get rid of this stuff (turpintine?)

I am planning on making a GT look alike, I wont say clone because I wont represent it as one, it's a GS and always will be.

It maybe easier to get a new boot floor pan and weld it in and that depends on how bad it is. Good luck.
