Hi Justin,
Quite a few Brits on this forum, and plenty from the rest of the world too.
You have probably landed on the best site you could for help and advice with your Cutlass, welcome.
Whereabouts are you?.

It takes me less time to fly to the USA than it would to drive to your place.

It would take me less time to fly round the world than push whats left of mine to your place :-)

Welcome to the forum Justin, looks like your going to be busy with your Cutlass!
I live in Derbyshire but I got my '61 Olds D88 from Kirkby Stephen so not too far from you I guess?

Justin Pape

So you took the local olds meaning i had to travel half the country to get mine :-) ha ha.
Hope shes doing you proud
Justin

Yeah I'm mean like that lol!
No complaints with my Olds, I bought her as a rolling restoration and use her on a regular basis. Had her over a year now and still love driving her.
Look forward to seeing your Cutlass progress.

Justin Pape

Im aiming to have her on the road next summer, well hopefully. Il keep posting pics as she comes along. Most the body work has been done, a lot of blood sweat and tears but she is getting there

Welcome, looks like your at a good progress spot. Mostly apart and ready to restore. Getting the motor out of the front seat area should be fun. Decide on a color to paint her yet?

Welcome to CO Justin!

She has already been stripped and most panels repaired. One has been replaced. Im thinking gold for her :-)

Hi guys
Long time since I've been here but my cutlass had thrown some unexpected demons ha ha. She has certainly given me restless nights. Update on restoration. When purchasing the car the engine was ment to be good only to find out it had spun a bearing. Full rebuild done, keeping her with original block she was born with. Has all welding done now and is certainly looking like she should. Suspension and brakes done. 2 gearboxes came with the car so I have to figure out which is which. Then I can sort transmission. Still undecided on colour and in the process of restoring my cutlass I bought a 71 roadrunner. She is a restoration to but not as bad as the cutlass. I know this isn't a mopar forum but if anybody is interested in seeing the roadrunner I'll happily post pictures. Anyway I hope everyone's ok and there olds are behaving.
Take care
Justin

Of course we want pictures! . I'm an Oldsmobile fan but I'll be going to the Mopar nationals at Santa Pod.
Any classic American car will get my attention and I don't think I'm alone with this view.
