I bought this car, my dream car back in 2004. I found int on Ebay and the winner bid took it for $4400. However, I did bid on it and was emailing the owner during the auction. Doing my homework. After I thought it was long gone, I got one last email from the owner asking if I was still interested because of a dead beat bidder. She said he paid her $100, to not give him a negative feedback. In attempts to protect his 100% feedback.
So, I went down to their house and liked what I saw for the price she was asking. Which was roughly half of the winning bid. So four years later and this is where I am.

The first thing I did was paid a local welder to fix what somebody else did to the floorboards. No photos.
During the tear down things were lost. A donor car was purchased for the A/C, 4 speed with pedals, tilt steering, interior screws, and other little stuff that would have put this rebuild over the edge.
The next thing is to put the thing back together.
