Yeah,it's not bad for free though.We paid $500 for it as a project but...Even if you decided to part it out you'd make some money.Have fun with it and post those progress pics.

Looks like a nice car to fix up Eric. Keep us updated with pics for sure. Are you going to keep the car, or sell it some day?
