65 Skylark Down Under Restoration

Good to see an update, Marcus. I can't imagine the patience it takes to restore a car these days, especially if you also have to deal with shipping from the US to Australia. Keep on it!

   Hi Marcus I was just reading your post and you mention needing reverse lights, I have a set that you can have. They need to be replated, but if you don't mind doing that you can have them. If you want I can post photos of the set. Just let me know.

Hi Guys,

Its been a while, thought I would check in. My restoration has come to a bit of a halt, however still moving forwards in the shape of a new shed with plenty of clear floor space and a car hoist. The concrete has been poured, shed gets built starting October 23.
When finished it will be 26' deep, 45' long and 11' high, or (8m X 14m X 3.6m high)
Hoping to send some progress photos soon, and chase after more help and parts.

Regards

Marcus

Congrats, Marcus! That should make working on the Skylark even more enjoyable.

Dear Marcus, Chuck, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

My restoration has come to a bit of a halt, however still moving forwards in the shape of a new shed with plenty of clear floor space and a car hoist. The concrete has been poured, shed gets built starting October 23.
When finished it will be 26' deep, 45' long and 11' high, or (8m X 14m X 3.6m high)

Thanks for keeping us posted Marcus!  You cannot restore a car without a place to do the work and your shed will most definitely do the trick!

Cheers, Edouard

Hi Guys,
Im having a little boast here, my new shed is built. It sure makes the old one look small.

Waiting on an electrician to complete wiring, hoping to get the floor painted this weekend and a two-post hoist will be installed 6th November.

Looking forward to having my Skylark sitting in there while I place it all back together.

Regards

Really nice, Markus! So great to have space and ceiling height to accommodate a lift. Enjoy and keep us posted as the Skylark enters the new work space.

   Looks great Markus,       really nice!  Here in NYC your shed is considered a 3 car garage !!!

Nice new work space! Should have plenty of space to lay things out! I could use a space like that myself!

Hi My US Friends,

The new shed has been wired up and I'm starting to fit it out. Put the chassis up on the hoist for the first time, it works a treat.

Time to get back to work on rebuild.

It's great to see the chassis on the lift in your new shed. If it stays that clean and organized you'll be my hero!!
