Here it is during the stripdown process. You can see the rust in the floors, but you can't really tell from the photo exactly how bad it was. Lots of "questionable" metal was eventually cut out before new metal was welded in. Even the trailing link plates had to be reinforced.


During repainting


It did get reassembled, and an all new interior was installed. Unfortunately, the budget ran dry shortly after and I never finished it. I drive it a few days every week, but it currently has the center console out, a few dash panels missing, a cherry-bomb muffler attached with coat hanger wire, etc. I think now I am just waiting for 5th gear to finally go out, or the engine to die. These major items will give me the incentive to finally take it back off the road and finish it.

Sorry, no current pics. And if I do have pics, I probably would not show them due to the poor care I've taken these last few years. It's dirty, it has a nice parking-lot wack in the rt rear quarter, and it still has those fugly wheels on it! (without the plastic)

And no, I've got too much time in it to sell it. Besides, you can find really nice ones for the cheap in eBay!
