Picked up this 1.8 1975 l-jet
That has sat in storage for at least 10 years.
Was used as an ax car, and was stripped down to start restoration and at that point quit.
Had a good structure- I'd say good bones. Jack points and longs are good condition. One spot that needs some fix but the goal here is to just see if it will run first. If I can get it running , i will take everything interior wise off the copper 75 I have, transfer it over to have a nice driver while the copper car gets the long and Jack point repair etc done over the next year. I will need wiring advice for sure!!

No rust in the floors or the trunks.
Seats are bad shape, back pad is too and someone tried to dye the white back black.

I have 4 bins of parts. Front hood is rust and dent free but was once yellow and now is black, needs a better repaint.. rear trunk is perfect too and doors are in very nice clean shape. Body side panels are straight, doors fit perfect. Things just need some cleaning up and wiring put back in place and I should be able to drive it .
Top of the list items:- once car runs
- get new back dated h.e. and muffler
- find decent early chrome bumpers
- new dash top and bottom (knee pad)

Decide what I want to move from other car - may take all the rubber , top, etc
- get 5 lug conversion and install and put my set of 16x6" Fuchs on it,
-ddrive and enjoy
- find someone to do rustoration to copper car
