The Greg Terry Memorial Build
Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
Byron, your pictures already show how well your efforts are paying off. The Memorial car looks brilliant.
Because when you spend a silly amount of money on a silly, trivial thing that will help you not one jot, you are demonstrating that you have a soul and a heart and that you are the sort of person who has no time for Which? magazine. – Jeremy Clarkson

Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
I'm really liking this build. Just like your Bronze, you paid very close attention to detail.
Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
Wow that looks great Byron really nice work
Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
It's a bit unsettling for me to see a dime so perfect. Back in the day, 68-73 I had never even seen a new 510 up close, let alone look under the hood. I was 17 when I got my hands on my first dime, and by the time I got it the old 68 had long sense turned the odometer over. Having no mental image of a shiny new 510, for me, to see one like this makes it look ethereal, almost unreal.
Absolutely stunning Byron.

This will be THE cleanest 510 on the planet, no doubt. It's cool to see everyone chipping in with the unobtanium to do this car justice.
Always happy to see new posts on this thread.

Yes, the help from everyone is greatly appreciated. Darryl, you are in that group of helpers - I haven't forgottenCamano510 wrote:This will be THE cleanest 510 on the planet, no doubt. It's cool to see everyone chipping in with the unobtaininum to do this car justice.
And the kind words are encouraging. Greg was a guy who strove for perfection, so I must do the same on this build to do it justice in his name.
I'll keep the photos coming.

Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
It has been a long time, work is still progressing. I moved into a house from many many years of being an apartment dweller back at the beginning of February, and the modifications and alterations have been non stop. But I have gathered some great parts, including a loop carpet kit and some new door handles courtesy of a realm member. And for the first time in 8 weeks, I will be at my shop to work on the car tomorrow and I'm happy for it. It's been so long, I may spend much of the day just getting reorientated with the project. I will update soon.

Well, anyone who gives a donation to a person only met over a forum deserves recognition and I felt that what you did was well above and beyond. I thank you for your generosity, and this car will grace your driveway one day - hopefully soonCamano510 wrote:Been a long time since we've seen any new updates......

Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
It's responses like these, and the progress you share with us that TOTALLY justifies my donation. It's truly my honor and pleasure.
Once it's up and even close to us, my son and I are coming to you! Can't wait to see a NEW 510 in person.

Well, slow down on that one. I wish it were mine, but alas it is not - I'm just living there.Camano510 wrote:Oh, and congrats on the HOUSE! That's a big deal!
Even in the suburb of New Westminster, this nearly original 1100 sft house built in 1953 is worth over $800K. I make a pretty fair wage, but I can't carry a mortgage like that! My wife and I made a decision 7 years ago - kids or house. We chose the former and are very happy for it.
But just the same, the house needed a lot of work - it's long term so I decided to make changes, even if it was on my own dime.
Thanks for your thoughts anyways though.

Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
So what's the monthly rent?? WOW! 800k!! that's really expensive!
Re: The Greg Terry Memorial Build
Real estate around these parts is stupidly expensive, I was looking at a couple of new build 3 bedroom rowhome/townhouses for my cousin, about 1200-1400 square foot, 2 car attached garage here in Richmond and Burnaby, $450K to $530K .... How in the hell is a family supposed to get started with prices like that?
