Mopar Muscle Association UK

Well this here is my much neglected Charger, bought it 15yrs ago used it for 10mths then due to a 600ml relocation for work parked up (T&T at the time) at my folks to be collected at a later time.
Young family and the recession has made it a 14yr wait.

Now needing a lot of love this summer will see a start towards a return to the road.
With a holiday home to see the folks in July the plan originally was to get it ready for transporting south later in the year. A chat with my brother who now has an empty space in his garage after finishing his Subaru resulted in a change of plan, it now being a strip down and he'll weld up the chassis over the winter, I just have to bank roll it

Since becoming a member here I started really learning about Mopars and getting stuff together, front wings and a trunk from Andy(Mustang Books) and a pair of doors from Dunc.
There's Poly K frame bushes on the way from the states and a list to rebuild the front suspension ready to order from rockauto.

It's a tall order but it doesn't have to and never will be original, it just has to be usable...















Oh and thats my brother in the pics

Good luck Dave, make a list and then make it happen.

It's being saved and put back on the road = Win!

It'll all be worth it for that first drive......you'll know it inside and out by the end too! :

Look forward to the progress pics!

I see what you mean about your trunk lid! Hope the panels that I briefly stored are of some use; good luck with the project!

A big pat on the back for not letting its currant state put you off. I think you'll be surprised how well a lot of it will clean up and be re usable.
Best of luck with it , and do keep us all up to date on its progress

Fantastic stuff Dave, much respect to you for doing this, I prefer ''restified'' cars and I am sure it will turn out great

Good project Dave and yes as the guys have said it is well worth it, she will be lovely to drive and have fun with.

Get it on the road with everything working safely and reliable

Forget paint and pretty things.... driving and stopping etc


Drive it and Injoy it. Then later you can do a rolling restoration of making it look pretty while not taking off the road to long.



4/6 years restoration are not uncommon at the home and it's a battle


Drive it enjoy it

Great to see another one being saved!!!

There are time that you will be cursing it but it sounds like you are in it for the long haul...it will be a great read as you progress....

.....remember, we need pictures!!!

It'll be...


..emotional.

Best of luck with it, like Pete says there will be times you'll want to set fire to it, but there will be more times when you'll just love it! In my experience the harder it is to fix, the more the finished car will mean to you

Glad those panels will be put to good use.

Good luck with it Dave I'm not far from you so if I can help in anyway let me know

Cheers guys for the confidence boost and for the support, help I'm surely going need
