Car looks great. Just curious if you had to come to the U.S you plan to bring it along with you. Where exactly are you bringing it to. Please give me the Address and location where its going to be parked.Leave a comment:

Nothing much going on today. Just dealing with the front sunroof drains. Only got to do a temp repair of the passengers side. I stuck an extra length of hose to the drain and stuck it out the gaping rusted hole in the body. Dryed up the metal best I could, got as much rust of as I could, and sprayed the rust neutralizer all over it. Gonna check it tomorrow and if all is good I'll paint/seal it all up and move on to the drivers side...
Here's a day shot with snow tires on....

Thanks. Anytime you wanna see it let me know. It's going back into the shop hopefully next week for engine/tranny work. Think it's gonna be awhile before I actually drive it around...:roll:
LOL. I plan on retiring over here. But if I have to go back, I'm taking this thing with me. ;) Another 5 years and I can take it back with no problems. And if I have to go before then, I know a guy who can help me with the import stuff...

Got most of the suspension on today. The fronts were being a PITA so I only got one side on. Too much rust, broke one of the strut housings. So, I'm gonna have to get some newer ones before I get to the other side. Had no problems with the rear springs/shocks/sway bars. I also put in new front control arms and bushings and the front sway bar. Went nutz with rust neutralizer and black paint all over the underside.
Also threw on the new grill, headlights, and window trim...
Here's some not-so-good shots with the rims on...
Still got a long way to go but I'm getting there....Leave a comment:

Now I have my car at my shop so I can do some suspension work and some other little things before it goes into a different shop for the engine and tranny work...




Here's some of the crap I'll be throwing out (rusted shite...)

I did all this after work today starting at 3pm. Finished up for the night at 8pm. I'll be back to work tomorrow morning.
