It's his friend in Oklahoma who is amassing the single largest collection of J-verts on the planet - that's where it will be. There are more drop tops there than a Girls-Gone-Wild video!

Car looks great Gary - should shut everyone up. Costs the same to restore that car as it does a Lemans Sport Convertible, except you've got money in the bank on this one!

Changed to buckets & console as well - I don't think anyone would fault him for those, also don't think they have any negative impact on the value.

No offence but that 4 post lift is not helping your endura and door gaps, especially convertible, beautiful machine Regards Frank Rizzo Good friend of HOBI.

I take it you've never jacked an endura car from the frame behind the wheel -- that frame flexes open with all the weight hanging off it and the endura/fender joint which was tight and pretty while it was sitting on the ground will peel open to over a half inch gap up in the air even with new body bushings. -- that's rule number one when assembling the car, endura gets mounted with engine in and wheels on the ground!

I would drag my car on 4 flat tires before I used a 4 point lift as a matter of fact I fill in the front and rear bumper jack holes bumper jack kills panel alignment also. DRIVE ON LIFT ONLY. just a thought

yikes! and did this have a happy ending? How'd you catch it before it crumbled? Partial failure that gave you time for the straps?
