i finally got a car. passenger longs and floors need replacing, and where the suspension mounts on the passenger side needs replacing. good thing i have a doner car!! i'll get some more detailed pics tomorrow...it started to rain. this guy picked the car up on a forklift with a big hole in the floor and the passenger long rusted out in the rear.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) i was afraid it was going to fold. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) are there and braces made to keep the car level while replacing the longs...i think i read something that mounts the the door posts???? hopefully the project will start soon!

This project can be like name that tune. Everyone can play.

Me - "I could restore that car in 5 years. "

CptTripps - "I can restore that car in 2 weeks."

Good luck!

Looks like a nice project and a good challenge. Keep in touch with the guy with the forklift. It is a nice option if you don't have a lift of your own. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
