Re: Start of the Costly Re-build

the car sat for 11 years and is just starting to be brought back to life........

it will be getting the rotisserie treatment (Sandblasted) under the car and in the passenger compartment area... then hit with spray in truck liner for maximum protection.

sandblast the engine area and jams ( paint to match the car of course ).

will be ordering UMI K-Member W/A-Arms and other suspension parts.

estimated build time 1 year...... but she will be a beauty afterward..... and of course I'll be broke... LOL

the color that it will be once done....

Re: Start of the Costly Re-build

Yep, you have a long road ahead. Looking forward to seeing it finished though.
Are your seats going to match your door panels? That is a funky design.

Re: Start of the Costly Re-build

Ahh, that brings back memories... Not all of them bad. When you start out like this you can build it any way you want! And there is nothing like the feeling of pride when you are done.

Re: Start of the Costly Re-build

That's the good thing, the car is all apart and if done right I will have it for 20 more years.

Seats will match the door panels, it is a different design but I want it to be slightly different than all the others out there.
