Been on here for a while now creepin around and watching some builds, figured it was time to start a thread of my own, since I could use the support/motivation to get her done for next spring. long story short I picked her up for $900 with a rebuilt engine that was abandoned in the 90's and now I'm going to finish the job along with fix all the rust. I don't plan on doing anything crazy with it, just get her running and low. now onto a bajillon pics leading up to were I am at now.

Damn, that thing is rusty! You're a champ for tackling all that. Looks like you're going to bring her back to life, the right way. Subscribed!

Ya lol, for some reason the PO decided to punch holes through several spots for no reason at all

If this car stays white, it definitely deserves the title of being called "Storm trooper"

I love harbor freight too. The other day while on vacation with the fam, I saw a Harbor Freight next to the hotel we were staying at and thought if there was anything I needed. I told my wife "Oh sweet a Harbor Freight", she just said "No" lol

Oh my, looks like 40% of the sheet metal needs to be replaced.

managed to get some stuff blasted today before it started i ran out of sand and it started raining, hopefully I can get some time tomorrow to get the front subframe finished and get all the smaller arms done so I can move onto paint and get them out of the way.



and i got some more goodies in the mail

Holy rust, Batman! I've always loved 2002's, so I can't wait to see some more progress with this one!

[sally pu]

looks like you have a long road ahead of you...but apparently harbor frieght has all the weapons you will need on your quest lol

Seriously keep this build clean and classy!

[323ijoe]

crappy rain, kept me from blasting the rest of my parts today so instead i did something I've been putting off for a while now.



Srubby-dubby-dub wires in the tub.....
