No the shop is actually bigger. He owned an industrial unit with condo fees etc here in Gerogetown...sold that and his house and moved out to Gorrie ON and bought a house with a shop on the property :clapping:

Wow that is a hell of a move....yes I had to google Gorrie!  Sounds like a dream set up though!

Looks like you will see a lot of his work to get those quarter panels looking good again.

Put it this way.....He bought an acre of land, real nice bungalow home with a nice shop in Gorrie, for the exact same price he sold his 900 sq/ft  industrial unit for in Georgetown. $350K. :o Then whatever he sold his G-town home for, is just money in the bank :bigmoney:

I assume the details on this car are somewhere ... but might as well share them here . . . . Color, Engine, details? 
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

When it comes time to do the quarters, please include details on how you modify the hardtop quarters to fit.
