Picked up this POS 72 on Friday. The ONLY reason I got it was for the rims and that it was 15 miles from my home. Someone had dreams of making a V8 car out of this. After all these years I am still amazed what people do to these cars when "repairing" them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I love the custom headlights, plexiglass rear trunk repair & hole in firewall cover. They move the engine lid pull cable to the rear trunk where you have to open the rear trunk, pull the knob which then causes the engine lid to hit the rear trunk lid since it is open. The gas shock to open the engine lid is a nice touch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) Best of all is all the angle iron used to "repair" the longs and floor then tin, fiberglass, spray in expanding foam to make the "NEW" floor. The guy actually had plans to drive this as a V8 car when "finished" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Also trying to understand why the hack the side of the SSI heat exchangers off? I tested one and it doesn't have any cracks, but is useless now for heat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Needless to say useable parts will be saved and the rest hauled off to the scrap yard this week. So here it is 4722917121 I will update the VIN database tomorrow.
