 Topic: Greetings from NorwayPosted: 19-February-2012 at 8:49AM |
|
Hi. I have been here for a while and thought maybe it's time to introduce myself. My name is Kim and is 26 years old and I live in Norway. I was basically a Chevy man and owned a 1975 Chevrolet Nova Custom, which I had for many years but had a dream about an old muscle car and after many years i sold my nova and bought a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle with big block but it turned out not be as the seller had told then it was returned. And I was looking again for a muscle car and it was completely random that I found my 72 gts few months later and I had never seen such a car in Norway before and was totally in love with the car! And will always be Ford man from now on.
Here are some pictures of the american cars i have owned. WARNING: CHEVY PICTURES   Sold. Inspired by the film DAYS OF THUNDER. hehe   Sold       Best car i've ever had! Looking forward to summertime now. Sorry my bad English but will try as best I can. And this is a great forum!! Happy i found it. Edited by 72 Torino - 19-February-2012 at 10:44AM |

Welcome! The majority of my cars are GM, but I still have my favorite Fords.

Factory sport steering wheel. Can't wait to install it!
   Old school center caps. Don't know if it will look good on the car yet...  Short throw Hurst shifter waiting to be installed  Hood grilles. Got them for only 42$ used from autocrafters. |

dang looks like somebody went ebay crazy
who was the seller for the headlight bezels?i've been watching all the auctions with 72 bezels did you buy them as a set or 2 individual auctions? you got the Sport wheel that was on the trucks and Bronco's as it has the Blue Oval Ford emblem as the horn button. Mine was from a Mustang II so it had the horse and why I switched to the GTS emblem which makes it look kewl and goes with the rest of the emblems i'm using on my car.

Correct! Went a little crazy on ebay one day. The bezels was 2 individual. The sport wheel is from a 78 Bronco but it has the horn button. I love the GTS emblem you have on the steering wheel. Should have been originally from the factory the way you did it  Looks great! |

Whoever made the brochure with the white GTS in it misspelled the name.

I just noticed you ordered the clock with the photo of your car.
I saved the ebay auction so later I can do the same with my car. I like that he offer's for an added price having a photo of your actual car put on the clock I want to personalize mine further with the name of my car "NitePhire"

Just noticed your picture of the shifter you got. Do you have a T5 or T56 in that car?

Depends how big the package is. The steering wheel was the biggest and shipping was 45$ and 83$ in custom fees here in Norway.
