Yes...this is an amazing thread!!! Again, NICE WORK!!! What did you use to strip the paint?. You make everything look so easy. I have my motor and tranny out. I think tomorrow after work, I am gonna strip the interior. It oughta be eventful. If I can get out of lazy mode, I will post pics too. Keep up the work, and keep us posted. This thread is more exciting than Prison Break!!!

might i suggest if you keep anything at all KEEP THE CROWN STICKER ON THE AIRFILTER. it kicks solid ***. Also i not sure what you got planned for your coils but http://www.rrs-online.com/is what ive been eyeing up for some time now good 8k will put you with coils front (3link rear) and rack and pinion.

hahaha, i work on it after work and on the weekends, i dont have that much free time, but whatever time i have is spent on this project,...it would be hard for me to make a website cause i have absolutly no idea what i am doing myself,..haha, this is the first car i have restored so this is a learning experience for me also...

I can help you construct a website if you'd like, most of the information you'd need to start is right here in this topic!

new dash installed



engine bay done being stripped,..bottom halp was sanded and coated in POR15, along with the trans tunnel, and underneath,...



spindles and crossmemeber blasted and coated,...these cam out great pics dont do them justice



side panel was stripped, sanded, and coated with por15, inner fender well in the process of bring stripped, what a pain, this stuff would not come off...
where you see the rust, there was about 9 pounds of dirt, it all gets trapped on that ledge under the spring and control arm, but the area was still very solid



sanded, treated with por15, undercoated
