G'Day from Australia.:tiphat:
I have a 72 Satellite Sebring that I bought in October 1982 from the original owner. Harvey bought it new in California, drove it around the States for 6 weeks then shipped it home to Australia. Back then it had to be converted to right hand drive (it was done very badly) and it was registered in Victoria in Nov 73. He used it as a daily driver for a few years then as his family grew up and left home it was used less & less. Eventually he decided to advertise it in the local newspaper & I stumbled upon the advert & went for a 100 mile drive the next day to have a look. I bought it and drove it home the next weekend. In 1988 I pulled it off the road to fix a few issues & got carried away & have fully rebuilt almost everything in the car..
There was a few years when no progress was made when I had a family & a mortgage with no spare cash. The last 4 years have seen huge progress & hopefully it will be driving next year sometime.

Plymouth sat in primer for a few years.
Pic of me with Harvey taken after the Plymouth was painted.
Freshly painted in "Shockwave" blue.
The crappy RHD conversion has been redone using an Aussie 1969 Dodge Pheonix steering & brake parts. (Plymouth Fury)
