After a year of fixing and rebuilding, i finally drove my car today for the first time.
I must say it was a lot of fun and worth all the time and effort i put into it.
I'm going out to drive it again right now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Man, I can bearly stand to read this one. My car must be months away from driving again and it is killing me. Why did I ever start this restoration project? Besides the rust, bad paint job with overspray everywhere, bad or no weather seals, worn out and used up everything, 1.7 in a 2.0 car and leaking oil everywhere, battery hanging on a bungee cord, yeah, now I remember why. Need to buy another one to drive. Oh shit, where's that 12 step program book? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Bungee cord...that sounds familiar. Wait, that sounds like me!

William,

I've got a 76...so I've got smog to deal with too.


So don't feel TOO bad...

I don't have a pick of the car in it's completed state.
I will take some on saterday and post them.
However ther are several pics of the car in various stages of repair here.
I'm quite impressed at how peppy this little 1.7 is. I bought this car in pieces and brought it home on a flat bed. Never owned any thing like it before.
Having this website has been a huge help putting it back together.

Thanks everyone.

Great job and beautiful car. It's nice to see a teener within 500 miles of me. I should stop in to chat next time I'm in the area. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Congrats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Glad you posted the paint colour I thought my monitor colours were way off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Pouring rain here today, 1/2 the snow melted in the yard, if things (no more snow) keep up I will be driving the 70 in a few days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
