Well, it has been a long day travelling over 500 miles round trip to pick up a disguised LE Creamsicle
Some hell hole damage and into the long but not as bad as some I have seen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Had been repainted white many years ago - bumper covers and all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Brown interior has been dyed black (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Been sitting for the past 15+ years mostly under cover. Last ran about 10 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Is definitely an LE as there is the phoenix red showing on the rims and elsewhere on the body.

Just a little inspiration. I started my resto a year & a half or so back. Almost road worthy. Had some issues with the FI. Going to put my carbs on it so I can finally get it on the road. I'll work on the FI system on the side while I ge tthe break in miles done.

I have read thru your "rustoration" several times. It's amazing how similar our cars are (were) starting out disguised under a white paint job, rust in the usual places, etc. I am now looking for an 043 or 044 ECU to put together the FI system and see how mine runs. Going to be a slow process but it's been fun so far.
BTW... your car is beautiful! Hope mine looks that nice one day. QUOTE(JRust @ May 21 2010, 01:42 AM)  Just a little inspiration. I started my resto a year & a half or so back. Almost road worthy.
