So I bought this Red 74 with a friend to be a car we part out. Well after taking a good look at it I can't bring myself to part it. Yes it has rust issues, but overall the bones are very good.
As you can see jack post are gone and the passenger side door jam has good size hole behind the latch plate, but only in that area. I haven't dug into the hell hole yet, but the battery tray and support is pretty solid. So the plan is a stock look restoration with very few "upgrades". Only changes from stock would be a more modern radio and GASP........ AC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So here are the pictures................. Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

So heres the deal. While doing this work I came to the conclusion that this car needs to be fully restored. I was just going to do a some what quick rust repair. paint and drive type of resto, but now that I am in to it well........... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I talked it over with the wife and she said go for it, gotta love her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) So it will get the full monty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I have given myself 3 yrs, I know I know, but I do have a honeydo list that has to get done also. Plus there is this small issue of money. Anyway, its going to be fun. |
