wheee!

That is awesome!

Then she should grab the door cards if they're good. Rare as hens teeth.

Lower valence panel...

I'd rather spend the money and be sure...

I avoided this issue completely and ordered the complete inner and outer kit from Techno Toy Tuning. Both R/R

I am fortunate to be a Maintenance Sgt in the military. I have expert techs to ask advice, plus access to some powerful and specialty tooling. We encourage our guys to work on personal kit after hours to build their skills. Having said that, I went to Canadian Tire last night looking for a 3/8 socket allen head set for the TTT parts that have capture head bolts... I found a twin SAE and Metric set in sizes up to 14mm on sale for $19, regularly $80! Gotta watch those sales...

Very true. The kit I used has multiple sizes, but the removal process was not simple. A lot of small movements and careful positioning to ensure the tool did not break as well. Worth the investment for sure, but don't rush the removal. Take your time and save yourself a lot of headache. The kit I used minus a tool that was broken prior to me using it. I signed this out from my tool crib at work.

Yes! Thank you. The fuel tank came from a guy in Ontario! Saved me a bundle on shipping.

Front style on mine, same as Jai's....

And success!...

Ooooo! Nice! SASSZ was born 09/75! RedBirds big sister...

Thanks Mark. Maybe Greg can get the production date off the donor for me...@Gwri8

We need to know both for certain parts compatibility....

Interested to know whether that is an early 76 or late (post august 76). I might snag a few early parts from it too if the model variant is correct.

I have a plan...

Also snapped a tap in the diff mount hole... grrrr Have to get a tap remover from work tomorrow.

Powder coated the very cool custom bumper mount kit manufactured by our very own@Eurodat! A nice satin black to hide behind the grill.

Tabco panels are a rough start... they will need some massaging to get to fit properly. Experienced body man is recommended for that, but it can be done by someone with the right tools and patience. lots of pics below of my Tabco lower rear quarter replacement. I bashed it a bit and then smoothed the lines with filler. It looks really good now...

RT diff mount in place with lower support for lateral strength. Lots of clearance and the diff nose is exactly the same height as stock too.

Partially assembled front rotor and spindle assembly. This is the brand new Techno Toy Tuning billet front hub! A work of art with a billet grease cap with o-ring.

Finished front spindle!

Welding day yesterday... First we MIG'd the struts with a tack to get the right offset from the collars. I wanted a good clean bite for the stick welds. Then a solid bead around the collars. Next step, clean up the welds and paint the exposed metal.

yes. the only difference is in the 2+2 size of flywheel

Stop looking for a shell. The only people selling shells are the people looking to capitalize on a rare car and desperate buyers. Look for a parked/daily driver that is restorable for a decent amount of money. It will save you money in the long run and you will not need to buy all the missing parts or at least most. Save your money, keep looking for the old family car parked for the last 20 years and be prepared to pay a few thousand dollars for a non-runner, decent shape, clean title 240. Less for a 260/280.
