Well its been over 33 years that I have owner this car as the 3rd owner.
I have finally broken down and am getting the surface rust repaired and having the car fully resprayed. I am told it should be ready by Mid August. The car was torn down this week and the good news is that after 33 years of mud and dirt in the rockers that there is no rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Surprising, as the car first came in to the country in Chicago and wound up spending time in San Francisco before I got it. The rest of the car had a few rust bubbles at the base of the windshield and on the passenger door along with the usual dents and dings that come with keeping a car in a garage with little kids opening the car door next to it or traveling the So Cal freeways and picking up misc. road debris impacts. The car is going to stay its' original color "Ancona Blue" along with all of the appearance group finishes. As progress continues I'll continue to update.Thanks for looking. |

I'm not going for concourse originality as this will still be a weekend driver out to Cars and Coffee or other So Cal events. Thanks for the previous recommendations last year on local body shops. |
