Back in the early late 80's early 90's I started this project. After stealing this from a family of raccoons that made it their home, I started to transform it back. The 2-tone mint green / black color scheme didn't agree with me as a young lad, so it was painted a red wine color and black. Unfortunately after an appearance at our wedding it went back to the farm for storage and some 30yrs later since rebuild, the engine has stuck piston / rusty cylinder due to head gasket leak. So back to the old drawing board. My daughter has got me going again after watching some car restoration shows together and showing signs of interest...
We shall see how it progresses. Once running again maybe I'll revisit some areas that were "good enough" back when I was a teenager and see if I can take it to the next level. One area I may need some help is seats as raccoons destroyed all by the springs. I had used some late model power seats from an Oldsmobile that just happen to fit and were the right color (and in budget back then). I always thought I should redo the originals someday and make them look somewhat original or at least to that era.
Anyway just starting off again on the adventure and thought I'd share a bit of the past.
Cheers!
