. anyway good job with the turn around so far. Looking forward to the end result.
Congrats on the progress. I dont think Im inclined enough to take on a project like this.Id probably do what the seller did and bail out.Id probably be sorry just like the seller as well once I saw it restored and my 8k wouldnt feel too heavy in my pocket.
Keep posting and best of luck.

Car is looking good. If you ever need an extra hand let me know. I'm in MA to. Hell, had I known you had such a big project and no garage I would have gladly let you use mine before my buddy decided to take apart his Ford Exploder in it.
Coming along great, can't wait to see the final product!

Took off the doors and put the other ones on, banged down the rear floor pan that was all screwed up, took out the back seat (for the 1/4 panel replacement), and put on the vortex generator for the hell of it.
An old co-worker is suppose to come down tomorrow to look at the car and give me a price on replacing the 1/4 panel and finishing off the radiator support. Hopefully the car will be going to his garage sometime this week to get started on that stuff. After that is finished the rest is easy. The heavy bodywork is the only thing standing in the way of getting the car finished. The paintwork and small bodywork I can handle myself.
BTW, I fixed that blow off valve a couple of weeks ago too.

Nice thread man, I like your style I thought about doing this but I got into some dough so I just copped a x. Plus your obviously more mechanically inclined then me. Good luck with it, keep us posted.
