Restart of a 2+ year old restoration

Restoration started over two years ago by The owner of a top notch bodyshop in Orlando, it was his daily driver. All exterior bodywork complete with the most unbelievable paint job. Shortly after that was completed the engine was removed for complete overhaul but never re-installed. She then sat for a year in the elements then another year indoors.
I want to think the owner of this car who is a pelican regular for giving me the opportunity to purchase her. I have only owned her for a week.
Completed so far, full clay bar to bring her paint back to life, which was a complete success. I have removed the entire interior in preparation for a color change from maroon to black.
Recently decided to do a rear seat delete to add one kick ass sound system. That one is for my kids, okay a little bit for me. The plan for this car is for it to be a family fun machine. This will keep them off my back in regards to my 930 I will update this thread as it progresses.
Once again thank you José and Lou
