This is my 78 Fairmont project car.  It has (at the moment) a 200 inline 6 and a 3 speed manual.  I plan to put a 302 out of my junk f-150 and a 5 speed in it.  When I bought it the rear gears were stripped, so I replaced the rear end with one out of a mustang.

The interior is going to be completely stripped.  It's most of the way there right now.

After I get the brake lines replaced, im going to start doing body work on it.  Patching a couple rust holes, filling a couple dents, and then I'm going to start strengthening the frame, and replacing the suspension to get it ready for the v8.
