Hello!
I bought this beautiful pile of garbage almost a year ago. I have been working hard at getting it running and getting the paint stripped off. 3 Gallons of aircraft stripper later its almost down to bare metal all over. It has plenty of problems, some badly repaired rust damage that wasn't supposed to be there, and some bad bushings. I didnt pay a whole lot for this car so i was expecting there to be a reason that it was so cheap under priced. After running a vin check on the car i found out that its on its 3rd, or 4th engine and at least its 2nd transmission, it has rear discs and what looks to be a junk yard new 8.8 rear end, and has a manual swap.

I plan on restoring what i can, making what i cant find, and modernizing everything i can.
its been a lot of fun so far and will be more fun in the future.
