Evan’s GX71 Cresta
Here are a few shots of Evan’s lovely GX71 work in progress. We pulled it out of the shed about a month ago to shoot the B roll for the episode as I had realised we filmed nothing extra from the original video.
Evan is excellent on camera once he warms up to it, and it was nice to immortalise his build in the videos. Much like all our builds, progress has been slow due to other life circumstances. He has a clear vision of what he wants to achieve with this build over the next year, and I’m looking forward to this taking shape.
For now, enjoy these pictures of Evans time capsule. This GX71 was the same base he was searching for, and he somehow came across it on the auctions, a low mileage, un-modified example, a perfect slice of eighties bubble economy goodness.
Evan bought the quad headlamp conversion, which you can see we threw on for photos above.
Check the coating on those bolts!|
These Riversides are waiting for a re-barrel once funds allow.
This is an excellent view! The Nardi compliments that eighties interior nicely.
And that digital dash…
Luxury at its finest.
That’s all for now. I’ll keep you guys updated as things start to happen with this build.
