This is to answer some questions and get somethings cleared up!!

a) What is your desire for this car?

What I want the car for is to drive around and keep as my baby.. mainly as leisure.

b) How much do you plan to spend (moneywise)?
I have plenty of money to drop on the car! About $1500 for the next 12 months.

c) How much do you plan to spend (timewise)?
I have plenty of time to attend to the vehicle. Right now I'm doing college and work study part-time so I will have about 6 hours a day to dedicate to the project. I dont plan on doing the paint myself but everything else is on my hands.

d) Do you have a place to do this work (preferably a heated three car garage)?
I don't have a bay or a garage but I got a HUGE YARD for fill and separate everything.

e) Are you doing this to make money when you sell it?
This car will never be sold or at least in my life-time!!

f) What kind of shape is the car in now?
The car is in a decent shape but looking at it you will notice it has lots of work. Its been in my family for years and its been sitting in one place for about 10 years now.

g) Do you have an understanding wife and family?
I have no wife and my family is helping me with the project.

h) Is this the right car?
This is the right car and I don't care about a NAME nor the price!!

Okay... so far the fist bolt has been twisted and the second and the third. So far I pulled apart the doors, complete interior, right and left fenders, front bumper, and trunk.

I have someone thats going to paint the car for me but my plan is to pull everything apart and strip the car down as much as possible. I want to remove the frame, sand blast the chassis and paint it. I will take all parts for them to be painted and worked on piece by piece. The car has rust all over the place but its not REALLY BAD.. small places are tore up.

If any, what special considerations should I look out for?
Where is the first or best place to start when I get the car apart?
The only reusable parts are the entire frame and rear bumper.... I want to re-due just about everything and use all OEM parts if possible.
Nothing performance or fancy will go into the car... yet!!! I want to keep it basic until I get it up and drive-able.. then start adding performance and fancy things!
