So the full story...

I bought a 73 (red car) and 74 (blue car) with a ton of parts for $1000.00. I was going to part them out and be done with them..... but they grew on me. The blue car has been in a garage for the last twenty years. The owner shredded the crank and sold it to the guy who I bought it from. the blue car had its drivetrain pulled and disassembled. The red car has no title and is really rusty. The motor will fire and sort of run on a spray bottle with fuel.

My plan is to make a driver out of the blue car. The BIG monkey wrench is i want to do it for zero cost. That's my my challenge to me. I have already sold off some parts.

-$1000.00 Original purchase

+$200.00 sold 2 sets of seats

+$400.00 sold targa top, center counsel, muffler, and sun visors
__________
- $400.00

So right now I'm $400 in the hole.

I have quite a bit of parts to get rid of. Thats great except I just dont see the money going very far. The plan is to reuse, freshen up, recycle, and rebuild. My en goal is just a driver. Not a full bore resto or a show car. I have to keep it in mind that this is a car that was a day away from the great sawzaw in the sky.
