Hi from The Netherlands!

[erikgto]

Hello guys,

Just want to say hi to everyone here!
I´ve been posting on and off on the Pontiac PY forums.
I´m from The Netherlands, Europe.
At 39 I´ve owned all kinds of american cars over the years. However, my first love when I was a kid reading magazines have always been the GTO´s.

After a ´68 4 speed I bought my ´70 GTO convertible 5 years ago. Pulled it apart 2 years and it´s a future project for now waiting for a frame off.

I bought my ´71 LeMans Sport T41 (factory GTO frontclip) early this year.
It´s been cloned into a GTO and I intend to make it a The Judge tribute. Hoodtach, Rear spoiler and eyebrow stripes.
It´s got a ´72 400 with a TH350, buckets, console and a flowmaster dual exhaust and 18`Billet specialties

Because of extremely sloppy steering, torch heated springs, some tranny issues like late upshifts. etc. I haven´t driven it at all this summer. Had a ´92 Vette first, then a ´98 LS1 Z28 which I intend to sell now.

Now I´ve decided what direction I´m going with the ´71.
A mild ProTouring build with parts from SCandC.
Maybe even an OD tranny with a 3.55 posi rear.
Time will tell what´s it going to become.....

Here are a few pics...

















The funny rake is torch heated springs up front, stock replacements in the back.

Nope not really round the corner as I already supposed by the building style. Nevertheless we might run into each other one day @ a meeting or trackday.
