is your glove box full of cassette tapes? i laughed, were did you find this car?

sick project by the way... get her running and then boost it!

I actually bought it from a second owner pretty recently. First owner was a used car dealer's son, 2 years later some folks bought it in Vancouver, WA and held onto it until a little over a year ago. I got it for $2500 and put a grand into a decent paint job, and did the little things necessary to keep it on the road. The glovebox was broken and unopen-able until a day or two before we started this nonsense, so I didn't have a chance to clean it out.

It had 175k on the clock when we started, I want to reset the odometer though, since so much of it will be new. I wanted this to be done a month ago so I'd have time to get the interior done, hopefully it'll at least be back together in time for the show next week.

We're currently thinking that the greater problem will be if I ever have traction, various bits of drivetrain may end up on the road behind me. I can't wait to try it out, but I think it'll be a better 30-100 car than a 0-60.

More like 60-130
