Finished . . .for now.

So I bought a roller and took most of the go from my beater and swapped it in. I'll admit that I kind of went from one beater to another...but this one has far less cosmetic problems all in all. One of the many problems with previous car was basketball sized rust holes in the trunk behind the wheel wells.
In the process of swapping motor, cooling system, trannie, driveshaft, wiring, and a couple other small things here and there I cleaned up the motor a bit and replaced all cooling hoses with every gasket on the top half except the head gasket(<---hope I don't regret this later). Oh and a new thermostat housing(old one was cracked). New center support bearing. New CAB's and arms. And it came with a front adjustable sway bar (methinks it IE).
I think it turned out pretty good...



The PO had a rather large wheels yet did not roll the fenders so they could use to be fixed/replaced in the front(read sig) not to mention the rather large crease in the front of the drivers side fender. There is also some damage in the rear but nothing not fixable. Needless to say it is on a salvage title so the more money I put into it I wont get back but I don't care. She makes me happy.


edit: thanks to everyone/anyone who's answered a question of mine in the past 3 weeks cause its prolly been about this project.

THNKS That would be great...It really needs paint as well(typical roof clearcoat failure) but clean color matched sheet metal always helps in making it pass as clean and shiny!:D Bumper tuck and better springs is next in the mix.

Getting there for Shirley :up: ! :D

Thanks but ...who's Shirley and where am I getting for her?
