I finally got the new roller home, thanks to the friendly folks at AAA.

Here is it in all its glory, AKAVW II.

Yeah, I think it was a pretty good deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

AKAVW I was a severly molested, badly put together, and rusting piece of work. It seems that there was probably 50 lbs of bondo on the car, a ton of fiberglass, etc. Wires were twisted together and taped up, rather than soldered or replaced, and the clutch tube was secured with wire, rather than welded, of course speaker holes in the doors, and tons of crap like that. Not to mention the longs were very visibly warped in many places and rusted through.

This one however, seems to be pretty original. Its originally silver, and the respray(s) seem to be well done. Most of the parts that are on the car now appear to be original, or at least installed very well. The POR15 is present in the trunks and the engine bay, and there is no evidence of bondo except for a small repair on the rear fender which I will take care of.

I figure it will take me a few months to put th parts into this car. I'm still trying to decide if I want to put steel flares on, or leave it stock.
