Well I figured its time to start documenting the rustoration of my 1973 1.7L.
This car was bought for and used by my oldest son to drive thru 4 years of high school in Montana. You have to realize in Montana kids can get their license at 15. I think we only put it on the trailer twice in those 4 years. It was bought on Ebay. I think the closing bid was $1600. So off he went with his Grandpa, the truck and the trailer. Then I get the call. Dad they lied .............. it does have some rust. So here's a 15 year old negotiating a Ebay deal gone sour with the owner of tow track company. So I told him to take inventory of the parts that we could use. Then make him a offer. So after handing him 10 $100 biils it was loaded on the trailer. So me at 55 decided that I want to rebuild this car to be my daily driver for next 15 years. It started out to be a quick tidy up and repaint. But we all know how that goes. I have $1400 worth of new interior that James did for me. All bagged up. I just received my $3300 order from Restoration Design. I have a $1600 list for Mark at 914 Rubber. So I figure I'll have $9000 into a car that might be somewhere in the $7000 range when I'm done. |
