85 T/A slowly coming back to life

well now that I found my vents (will get them this week from the Brown Truck) thanks to this site, I got my new hood and new fenders. I'm about to fiberglass the vents and grilles to the sheetmetal so there is no more delimitation. I started to fix back my interior as I stripped it all off last fall so all I miss now is my front impact bar that I will order tomorrow plus a new battery to start up the old 305... so in less than a month the car will be ready to be painted but working outside kinda sucks... oh and for those who wish to tear down their interiors... hear my advice and tag your bolts!!!

anyway, this was all on the white 85 T/A... if you want pics just look at my briefcase on yahoo

I ripped her apart cause last year I wanted to make a color change so I wanted to paint inside the "safety cell" or cockpit or whatever you call it in english. Now I changed my mind and she needed mroe than a paint job, the hood was dented and so was the fenders and the bumber was behond repair thanks to a deer... delimitation heh sorry I guess that is not an english word... I want to hide the edges around the vents as if it was one piece with the hood and fenders
