Hi everyone,

Guess what arrived to my house yesterday?

Now I have to work very hard, be patient and passionate.

I'll do all I can to rebirth a little part of history, altough she's not so bad!

Congrats on getting your Charger home! Looks like a fair bit of work yet to be done but, I am betting it will get done!

[Baldwinvette77]

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Its the right color in the engine compartment as well

Good luck with her!

Did you grab the Delorean too?  Go back In time and bring us all fresh off the shelf parts!!

Thanks all !

To reply in the order of questions :

Yeah it's a CA car.

I don't have so much work on it, the most have been already done : quarter panels / door / trunk / hood / roof replacement.
I'll have only to clean lot of parts, apply a new paint and find a new interior.

Yeah, Allan, that will be the most awesome car in the region !

Color is the most important question for the moment. You'll see below.

It's a running project : engine starts clockwork, trans drives well backwards but has difficulties forwards. (I'm thinking at oil problem, but I'll see)
The Delorean is now at about 150 miles from me.

I've got most of the parts : new AMD chrome bumpers, new front spoiler, a new black dashpad, and a lot a small parts.
The front grille has only a small crack at top right angle but everything else is perfect.

For the color, it would be a shame to change it now.
The previous owner done a very clean work, so i'll continue it in orange.
BUT...
I don't know if I keep the orange wheels with a chrome centercap, and a black stripe around the trunk / black interior. --> It would be very sweet !
OR... GL clone. Most common for you, but in France you can count it on fingers. And it's very fun!

Six-tee-nine, I'm at the south of Brittany. Exactly at the middle of the Brière swamp.

I promise I'll do all to make it a very cool, clean and reliable Charger.

This evening, I was chatting with her and I said "Good night" when I closed the garage door. Maybe I'm mad.

I was forgetting, you'll have a complete photo report this week end!

Mad?

Seems normal to me.

[DadsCharger00]

I'd pry call you mad if you DIDN'T talk to the car! 

[Baldwinvette77]

My cars a corpse but i still have detailed conversations with her  and yeah even though GL's are popular in the states, they'll defiantly be a unique sight in france, you could just paint it orange but without the GL decals, and put a black tailstripe, would look pretty neat,

Thanks all !

You're definitely still in "Honeymoon" mode.   

[JB400]

The Charger is the best one to talk to.  It don't get mad, but it can act up and throw a tantrum

[Mopar Nut]

I was forgetting, you'll have a complete photo report this week end!

Can't wait, love pictures.

[Dino]

Awesome!  My two all time favorite cars on one truck...I would have hijacked the truck!

Congrats Quentin, now treat her well and she will return the favor.

Can I borrow the Deloreon to go back and get a Hemi Charger from 1969?

[Old Tired Rebel]

Great looking Charger,Congrats
