I love everything about this. But a newbie taking this on will only make him hate it.

I know. I did too.
This, my friend, is not a good one. How will he begin. |

QUOTE(Rand @ Sep 21 2019, 07:39 AM) I know. I did too. This, my friend, is not a good one. How will he begin. I guess I'd start by cleaning it up, then evaluating it. It could be just a parts car, or it could be salvageable within the owner's budget if given enough time...AND with help from this group. Free is a good starting point. Nothing to loose. Everything to gain. If you have to start with "a good one", most of us would still be waiting. |

I'll bet once this one is cleaned up, it will be in nicer shape than my first one. I don't think we've seen enough to judge whether this is "a good one." It looks to me like the pass door is a little ajar in the first pic, giving the appearance of a sag. We need more pics of the longs and hell hole to better judge what this car needs. Get the rocker covers off and post plenty of pictures of both sides and under the battery tray to we can see if there are structural issues. In addition to starting with a good clean up, see if you can pick up a copy of Rand's motivational speaking series on DVD for more inspiration.
