Why do people pile stuff all over these cars ? don't they know that is what the trunks are for ?
Looks like a nice find. Can't really say it is bone stock with different engine, painted bumpers and no sail panel vinyl. |

That's right. Go Dawgs, Sic em! I would put a license plate frame for the dealership on it, but I just can't have that on my car. Its been in my garage for way too long. We got the house in part for the 3rd garage, but 2 kids, opening my own firm, and life in general has delayed the process. |

Can't really say it is bone stock with different engine, painted bumpers and no sail panel vinyl. The "bone stock" should have been "base model." Non-appearance group, so no sail panel vinyl. Other than the engine and an aftermarket radio, there are no real mods from stock. |

For the next portion of our program, a little game that we call Is it Fixable? Lets meet our lucky contestants:
I'm confident that I (or someone who knows what they're doing) can work out the bumper, but what about the bumper top? Is this done for or is there some hope? I have another fan, but is this one saveable? Thanks! Konrad |

Guilty myself, in fact my other project car is a Volvo with even more horizontal surfaces to lay crap down on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Glad to see you decided to start working on the car again. Love that green. |

Body color sail trim and bumpers, no sail vinyl. Dog dish hubcaps. There was an identical car in my town long ago. Now about that hood emblem...... no way. |

Alright, the next step is to get some new rings on the pistons and get the top end put back together. Now this s question might generate some heated responses, but here it goes- Should I lap in the cylinders on the heads or is that not necessary?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) Thanks, Konrad |
