Topher88 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Picked her up today and tomorrow is start the cleaning process. The first pics is how she has sat for the last 8 years and now i finally have it in a dry place where i can start making it a car again. Got a few extra fenders and bumpers to work with and i think most of the other stuff needed to make it a functional car. Ill keep you guys up to date with my progress and hope to see a few of you guys at Eagle Rock. Quote Link to comment

Topher88 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks. The car is just in parts right now. Im getting a basically complete car. im getting all the tail lights side markers, glass other then the windshield, the drivers side door, aluminum door panels, he has a set of fenders but they are in pretty rough shape so idk if ill work on those or get some newer ones, it needs clutch stuff, drive shaft, trans x member, engine is roughly wired up so idk if ill just keep the way it is or if ill just get a new wire harness and such, needs radiator and a few other things obviously lol. Im stoked to get a car that is already one its way to my dream car :-) Quote Link to comment
