Quick update...after inspection on the lift, the LE is in great shape structurally except for for the front where it was hit and not repaired correctly. The plan is to find a 73-74 donor car where we can cut a straight line at mid-point on the wheel wells and remove the front from a sound car, the same on the LE and weld the pieces back together. I'm being told this is the correct way to repair a car that has been hit in front bad enough to compromise the front suspension points.
So, still looking for a suitable donor car in the central Texas area.
Thanks -
