Hi everyone I just bought a 1970 Bradley GT for 1000. Its gonna be my senior project to restore it. I am 18 and also own a 2000 Camaro Z28 and know a thing or two in the automotive world. This is my first time trying to restore a car and the first time actually seeing a bradley gt. Ive heard of them but now i actually have one wow! So far the restoration has been going okay. I believe the engine in a 1967 vw 1500cc. Although the distributor is throwing me off. Its from 1960-64 at least thats how to part numbers match up. The engine code starts off with an H so thats why I think its a 67 engine. Either way though I eventually got it running. Took the carb off and soaked it and cleaned all the jets out. New points, condenser, and rotor all coming sunday. Other than that I dont think I'm having any problems with it engine wise. The real question is the exterior. The guy I bought it from put plexiglass over the headlights to make it look like it goes with the body. I'm not a fan of that. I wanted to find some pop-up headlights or make my own with an actuator or some kind of motor. What do you guys suggest? Also I was wondering about making a top for it. It looks like ttops should go on it. Should I just make some with some thick plexiglass and latch it on someway? I think thats all I got for right now. Just thought I say hi to everyone being new and all. and that im a proud owner of a bradley gt!
