I wanted to open this thread to post more pics of the car in question and have a visible area for others to see questions, comments. car is in great shape. Too good for me in good conscience to hot rod out. So I found a second shell to put together instead. Here are some pics of the inside condition of the car. Pics are the inside floor on the driver's side. All the way back to the toolbox located directly behind the driver seat. Area is solid, clean and even has the original paint.

I will take a short break and let some of this soak in. To make the car a daily driver I would get it painted, replace all the rubber seals, possible replace of hub bearings and check out the brakes. I have not noticed a problem with brakes or bearings but the car has been sitting for a while so a little preventive maintenance could go along way in the , "just in case" department.

I was unable to load the pic of the driverside rust but the pasengerside is similar and it loaded up so here are good visuals on the only rust found on the car. Actually all pics between the driverside and passengerside are identical as far as condition of the car so that will save time of loading pics and questions about condition. Remember to think times 2 when looking at the pics to have an accurate idea on the condtion of the car. I used a small sandblaster to remove the paint in both the front pillars and door handle areas. Evedrything else was done with a D.A. sander.

Current pics of the car as she sits and some of the engine. Engine has been swapped around. Block is a l26 w/E31 head. Still has the original SU ROUNDTOP carbs though. Transmission has also been replaced with a 5 speed. I did not do any of this I simply repaired what was there to make her run well. I would look at replacing the clutch as it feels like it is slightly slipping.
