Introduction to the car my 11 year old named black beauty . Hopefully it can be returned to her former glory.

Back story:
Not much is kknown about this car.
I bought the car from Billh1963 on Sept. 29, 2015. He bought the car earlier in the year , found on Craigs list in Columbia, SC. We all know Bill can't pass up a deal!. Car sat for 10 years after the p.o. had pulled it off the road to fix and restore it. He got as far as stripping it down, pulled out much of the wiring harness. Replaced the right front quarter panel and then it was abandoned. Luckily it was preserved by being stored in a clean dry place.
Goals: return to road as a nice close to original daily driver.
1. Remove rust in hell hole and passenger cross member, and sail panel area on left side.
2. Prepare for back dating bumpers
3. Clean and prep for repainting.
3.5. Assess motor status and prepare for refresh.
Either a. Refresh 1.8 , b.rebuild using current motor with turbo, or c. Replace with 2.0 from donor car.
4. Paint
5. Reassemble and complete restore of interior.
Interior was originally white, now dyed black and in bad shape. Not salvageable.

Here are a few pictures of the current condition of the car.

I am a late entry and thank the powers that be for allowing me to join the contest.
I do not have the welding or body work talent that some have but I will do most if not all mechanical and interior restore work.

** update way over due!!!
we moved, got settled in and just no time do major car renovation. SO
The copper car is going to CFT- Tangerine racing-Chris Foley for the rust repair, so updates and pictures will come along in the process I am sure.
-my plan is still for the car to be ready for okteenerfest .
here is my wish list for the fix;
1. jack point and rear long fixing- already bought parts from Restoration -
this could be more extensive we will see how bad it is once they open it up-
2. with the rear jack points and longs, rear floor pan and drivers seat mounts and cross member repair.
3. this is a big one- rear fender lips rolled, stretched out to fit the 7" fuchs and repair of what was damaged by previous attempt to roll them
they will be repaired and prepped for paint
4. Motor refresh - not sure here, depends on what is left in budget - it could get a 2056 or just top end stock rings valves etc, - it had 146k miles, never been rebuilt. burns lots of oil, low on power, runs hot, my wish listwould be 2056 injection with new P&C, head work, etc etc,
5. repaint: it has a bad respray not properly matched to the original copper metallic-
6. reassembled for the trip in September. - I have everything for the inside,
-I already rebuilt my seats with kits from 914 rubber. , I will put back in what I have

so the road trip starts on Thursday, I should arrive in CT Friday afternoon. I will post some trip pics, wish me safe travels as I am driving it up!!!!!
