Welcome! Yeah, had been drinkin' last night, may have to go back proof read and add disclaimers! Heheh!

Yeah, owned since '81. It was sunk in a guy's back yard for a couple years, doors open, had to use a tow truck to pull it out, and had to hose the mud out of it.

Only rust on it when I got it was lower quarters, trunk drop offs, that gap panel back there, and the usual brace/fender area. A little in the corners on the windshield, which was typical for the early years especially, before the 'wings' were installed.

Was a no-spoiler car, 2nd owner added them, and are the wrong ones. No wheel spats of course, and wish I would have saved the fenders, even after the one accident damage, or at least the vents.

it's been years since I even looked at the PHS, but I do have it. It was pretty molested, even had shag carpet in it when I got it! That puke green-yellow stuff! Heheh! On the rear deck too! Bleh!

There was a little rot on the bottom of the doors, seams, but the guy who did the body the first time had some side-impact braced doors that were good, and he donated them to me.

The gap-panel on the drivers side is missing, couldn't be located at the time, and has some fiberglass covering it. Some. I will get that corrected, plan on doing a frame-off, but for now I just want to get it back on the road, and will put as much as I can in service of what I have currently. It's going to look pretty 'period-correct', or kind of '80s', I have limited funds at the moment.
