"Oh you like cars? Want a project?"
. . . and so it begins Sitting in a sort of covered shed for 28 years in North Idaho. 1.8 Motor is locked solid. The starter did try. We also tried to drag it in 5th gear. Front calipers are locked. Rust in the usual places, but the rust does not seem as bad as many I have seen. Floors are solid. All the rubber seals seem to be perished. ~30 years old KYB Struts! We will be tearing it completely down. Fixing the body and then putting it back together one system at a time. Please bare with me as I ask stupid questions.

Looks good to me!
Love the color combination... though, I'd go crazy and drop some yellow tartan in there. There's lots to do. Pick a corner and start! I'd bite the bullet and cut into the passenger fender and start off with the hell hole. Tons and tons of info. The thread in my signature goes over all this work DIY at home. Nothin' to it but to do it! |
