How did it go from a beauty to all fucked up? Sorry if I come off strong but it's all tore up now.

Well time to burn the car

My thoughts exactly.

Two years of abuse and not having time to fix stuff. The thing about having a really nice old car is that to keep it in that shape, it needs constant maintenance.

Quick, late update. These are photos from Sunday that I never got around to uploading.

I took out the front wiring harness again. This shit is a rats nest.

That's all for now. I brought the fuse box back to SF with me to work on it during the week. I'll be back in SJ next weekend to work on the car more. Hope to get the engine pulled and start getting the dash out. Stay tuned!

What are you gonna do to it?

Next steps - Engine out, dash out, fuse box relocation, engine bay paint, engine refresh, engine back in, car painted, top replaced, seats recovered/replaced.

The zip tie mod was in the peak of daily driving and needing a quick fix

Seeing that fuse box cut out like that gives me so much anxiety lol. I am not as brave as you are!

Amen!

Probably a tad late but did you know you can de-pin them? Haha, thats what I did then re-pinned once I moved it inside.

I had a large update planned, but something happened today.



RIP Calypso.

Nah that looks fixable. Perfect excuse for some shiny new paint

[Echo30V]

Oh snap, did not see that coming. Fix that.

Anything is fixable if you throw enough money and/or time at it. Sometimes, the juice isn't worth the squeeze, but that's Steven's call to make.

Sorry for your loss but what's the story behind the wreck?
