Thanks for everyone's input which has been a surprise you guys are great. Any recommendations for someone in Toronto that can help do the restoration?

I always thought that console looked out of place but was what it came with when I bought it. I have the original steering wheel vs the Momo I thought was cooler back in 87 when I was young and silly. I realistic think selling is the best option....

finally figured out how to upload pics. They aren't the best since it was raining and I didn't have a hose to wash the car so just waited for rain to give it a rinse before I took these pics. Let me know what you think?

opps, Technically challenged here? I created an album and uploaded a series of pic but they somehow aren't saved. Not sure if there is a moderator approval process or limit/delay. I will check again tonight.

I just got back from Montreal, took the covers off after 23 years of hiding. Check out the album and let me you what you think I should? I think selling is the best bet but welcome any advice

thanks for all the info

I bought this car in pretty good condition in 1986, rebuilt the engine, replaced suspension/brakes, floor and frame. I moved away for work and the car has been stored in a heated garage since 1989. The garage owners have sold their house. Keeping it isn't practical for me anymore so I'd like to get it back into shape and pass it along to another appreciative owner. It will need work, so I would welcome any insight and experiences for restoration. I don't have the funds to do a complete restoration, but would at least like to get it functional and in sellable condition. Here are my biggest questions: Recommend a mechanic in Montreal that can do an assessment and get it running; Suggestions or recommendations from those who have gone through the restoration process. I'd like to know how to do this on a budget; Recommend a place like Whitehead Performance where they could take this as a project over the winter so I can have it running in the spring. They suggested 5000-7500 to get it running i.e.: replace all hoses fluids, gas tank and some electrical work; Recommendations about whether to sell it as is or get it running and take it from there. Recommend a transport company that can ship the car to Toronto I’m heading to Montreal this weekend (October 24-27) to pull the plugs fill the engine with varsol or oil and manually turn the engine to see if its seized. Then take pics of it and list it and hopefully make a decision. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
