1969 Dart Pro touring daily driver **Crashed**
Unfortunately at this point the progress will slow down for a while.
I have the car in Sweden but live full time in Ireland which means I have a very limited amount of time to work on it.
Before wrapping up for this summer I received the Borgerson power steering box from Peter Bergman (definitely recommend buying from him) and got some other small prep done. I really look forward to seeing how the car feels with the quick 16:1 steering ratio, this is the same ratio as my modern BMW which feels very different.
As mentioned the car is soon due to be picked up to go to the chassis jig and have everything straightened. The final prep for this was to take out the centre console, carpet and rear seats. I was surprised to find that the carpet seems to have no shape or mounding so it should be easy be replace with something else later on.
A while ago I sourced a new 1968 passenger fender which has been left inside so that the guy with the jig can check fitment.
