NZ assembled Chevy Belair Factory V8 model

Cab over chassis

Intentions were to restore to original spec with air bag and 4 link set up and a nice BB between the struts but priorities say otherwise.

Literally 100's of factory replacement exterior and interior parts available for these Belairs from full replacement interior kits to door handles and locks right down to switch bezels which makes the restoration process a hell of a lot easier.

Body and trim wise 90-95% complete Missing trunk and rear quarter chrome trim and a few badges otherwise its all there. (available ex US cheap as chips)

Spare rear chrome bumper

Interior - 80-90% complete Missing the dash clock, carpet, both front door cards. Has all the glass plus some spare quarter windows. Has all the winders and locks etc but again they're extremely cheap to buy brand new from US

Cabin floor and trunk floor/wheel well are solid no structural rust other than surface rust.

The old girl has abit of rust to attend to before getting vinned - Bottoms of the outer door skins need rust repair Small rust repair on the lower passenger side firewall Corner edges of the duckbill over the rear windscreen Front headlight surround on LH guard.

couple of dents as per pics

I started striping the car down wrapping the glass, boxing and labelling all the bits as I disassembled it so it currently is as pictured in PHOTO 14

Tail lights and surrounds, exterior chrome side trim is mostly all there, its just not on in the photos as i'd already removed it and wrapped it all up

I have lots of other photos available Any questions feel free to ask.
