oh man. it looks like it got punched in the face. and the leather looks like flabby chicken arms. but it's a great project car as others have already said. you'll have to make a lot of hard decisions how to sweeten her up. good luck yo!

Yea the front bothers me =(

I have new fenders coming in this week. All I need is a new front bumper and i should be good to go!

The leather is flabby but when I sit in the seats its comfy as hell... go figure. 50x better than my SC seats, even the ones that I reupholstered.

Coming along nicely. Glad to see someone picked up the car and is restoring back to itself. Now, I just wish someone would buy the body kitted one from the silver thread and help it out. Stop the rice LOL

I saw this car in brooklyn 2 months ago. Once the fenders go the car will look much better. By the way those are the fenders that ebay sells for about $500.00 . I got my fenders for $180.00.....in stock near me in New Jersey. If you want to sell me your spoiler let me know

Thanks. haha yea.

I finished up the ball joints today and the car is driving great now. No more clunks. Steering rocks too. I got lots of squeaks coming from all over so I need to take care of that next.
