VK Charger 770: the early years...

Before the rust and restoration, my VK Chrysler Charger 770 was in exceptional condition.  I won't add the word original, as the car had already received some aftermarket wheels (265s on the back, 245s on the front), along with extractors and exhaust system. The photos you see here were taken at an 'All Chrysler Day' in South Australia, where I proudly displayed my Charger amongst the other MOPAR-goodness on show.  

If you look carefully and compare these photos with those taken after the restoration, you will see that I made a few slight changes to the exterior.  These included removal of the rubber strip down the side, painting the grill black (the white teethy grill just didn't look tough enough!), and painting the entire rear in the original 'topaz gold metalic' colour.  As for the interior, well...  let's just say I decided on a whole new look which didn't include a trace of brown, orange, or tartan anywhere!  More on this later...
