So I've had my 74 for the last 4 or 5 years. I've put about 10k miles on it as I have a few VW's I drive on the weekends. I tried to sell it to focus on my other cars but no biters so I have pulled the gun and I am redoing the car to keep. It's a fully loaded 74 with A/C and an appearance group. It's delphi green with the Ricardo Montalban dark corinthian leather interior (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I figured if i post pics of my progress it will motivate me to finish it. So here it is...

It was poorly repainted and although it looks presentable, the paint is shit. It is super clean as far as rust and interior paint so I am only doing an outer respray.

Here are some progress pics...

That's all I've done this week. My friend is helping with the body work. He's pretty damn good. Will post more pics as I go along.
