Hello from Manila, Philippines
« on: June 22, 2013 - 09:34:55 AM »
Greetings from Manila, Philippines! I have a 1970 Challenger Magnum R/T which has been in restoration for the past 5 years.  It was a basket case but was an unmolested E-body with everything original. It was previously owned by a Filipino US marine who retired here in Manila and brought home this beauty in 1978. In 1979, however, the engine conked out and it was relegated to retirement, too, ever since. I hope to get my prized possession running by the end of the year.

Greetings!  I was born near there (Calloocan City) years back when my dad was stationed there in WW2.

Car looks good so far!  Must be a real PITA to get parts though.
