I have a 63 Nova that is 90+% complete. Not happy with interior, so need to redo that. Also not happy with brakes, so work there too.
First one that I painted myself. Turned out pretty decent. Not perfect, but certainly decent. And a great learning experience.
How bout you?

Mine are a little different. Have a '66 Fiat Abarth 1300/124, a factory performance model. Less than 300 made, not many left. It's a serious restoration using a donor body. Will be like the white one below. Just doing the body work now. Other is a replica of a 62-63 Fiat Abarth 850TC factory race car, will look like 4th photo. Have done extensive rust repair and mods on the body. Have a build thread on a forum here and here. I do everything except machine work. Progress will slow a lot over the RV-ing season.
