History
Meet “2 FACE” GC Restoration's half new shop Ute. He’s known in the shed as “Harvey”. “Harvey” is a real life before and after of what’s possible when it comes to revamping muscle and classic cars, a moving business card so to speak..
Geoff has had this odd idea for a resto in his head for years and has been talking about doing up an old Ute to use as a GC Restoration shop runabout for quite some time. He got to chatting about it earlier this year with our dear friends George & Pippa Hacon and they mentioned they had a few old Utes, that their kids had driven over the years, parked up back on their property near Mt Isa that might come up ok. George said, “They could do with a half tidy up but maybe one of them might suit your needs”. We picked “Harvey” out of the line up because he suited the odd idea Geoff had in mind. George kindly donated the body shell and chassis to Geoff’s cause.
'Harvey’s” driver’s side has been bare metaled, repaired, straightened and freshened up to look like a Sandman tribute from front to back, inside and out, top and underbody, right down the middle. BUT the passenger side has been left almost exactly as it was. We salvaged what we could but it’s been sun and weather damaged, got dents, holes, bits missing, lost or damaged and bloody red dirt everywhere!
“Harvey” is certainly turned out to be a head turner and an awesome daily driver for the shop and a Social Media star!
